Blackwater 53393 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 That bit of history is revered in this state! We try to take our rights seriously! This episode should be taught in every school in the country!! Sadly, it’s ignored in some of our own city schools these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubious Don #56333 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Oddly enough, watching the events in at least three American cities I've been reminded of this relatively unknown piece of Americana. Different sort of folks back then, I suppose. However. LOL. Being a vet and someone who spent his whole adult life working for "the Man" I'm acquainted with more than enough Americans that ARE of this caliber.

Blackwater 53393 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I’m thinking that some of our elected officials should seriously revisit this bit of history!! When people have had enough, history WILL repeat itself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same feeling from listening to a podcast about the various rebellions in the early days of the US. If I didn't know the podcasts were done well before the riots started, I would think they had been tailored and tweaked to highlight the similarities. It was eye opening to me.
