Didn't want to overtax anyone. I chose Cowpens because Morgan took advantage of the elitist view that militias were useless against "real" soldiers

Now this.

As I said t is obvious that being English you know and understand our history much better than we could ever hope to

As for the snide comment about my being English....yes I really do know more than you. I even knew how to research and quote info using an American web site. I guess they had a different professor to you huh.

Sorry but there is no conflict between my two statements and no you don't know more than I do but thank you for proving my point about assumed superiority

Nothing assumed, just proven by your contradictory posts......harsh but fair methinks. Care to address my points about elitist views as per an American web sites content ? ......Thought not.

There were no contradictory comments on my part Morgan used the militia and the Butchers contempt for them to spring basically the same trap that William used at Hastings, fake panic to break up the enemy formation and gain the advantage. Niether the militia nor the Colonial regulars could take the British in a fight in open field with lines formed as was the norm of the day. So Morgan used a fake panic to alter the inviornment. Further I never said anything about your ability to point and click just your inability to comprehend the most basic tenents of military tactics. I can click all day about brain surgery, that doesn't mean I understand it.

Try and educate yourself. Morgan placed his militia so they could not run, he had no faith in them, as per a US web site.

You seem to make this more about me than your actual post. It was the fact you said Morgan thought the British were elitist, I simply pointed out why he placed his troops were he did. As well as the fact he had little faith in them.

He planned from the beginning to have them form were they did and fake a panic what is so hard to understand about that.

Noticed you don't have an excuse for what happened in Mass.

No this is hardly about you and I have no intent to make it about you.

I shall bow out Bama. You quite obviously feel I have no right speaking about the War of Independance, since you clearly stated I think I know more about your history than you.

I wont ask you who was King of America at the time, nor what Country he was ruled. I wont ask you how several American States came to be named after members of the Royal Family or after places in Britain. I wont ask you where the inspiration for Washingtons flag comes from. I wont ask you which army you were fighting, because obviously by your own admission, thats just American history.

Fuck it, I wont even ask you which language you speak, or where your ancestors probably came from, as again, none of that is part of British history.

No point me answering any questions on 1776 until the above sinks in.

I don't think so. Slaves were not persons (or enough of one...3/5) and thus had no rights 'whiteman was bound to respect.'

Places were named after places people came from.
After 1776 We didn't have a king a fact finally recognized by England in 1783
Unlike George III I speak English and my ancestors came from Germany, and Scotland, that is the ones who weren't here when Columbus showed up.

Not all places and not all States.........Georgia, Maryland, Carolina, Virginia.......all named after English Royals.

Psst, if you were not recognised by England until 1783, guess who was king until then...lets not forget not everyone wanted to break ties either.

George III was, Like me, born in London, that makes him English, he also spoke English.....

Your Scots ancestors were also descended from the original British Celts, much like the rest of us.

Note that both France and Spain recognized us well before the British admitted that the independence we declared in 76 was fact.

More bullshit. France didnt recognise Independance until 1778 and Spain didnt until 1783, this despite both fighting on your side.

Something your professor obviously forgot.
