quote:Originally posted by Rob Kamphausen: again, i dont see how a mutual hatred (at the time) of the british shows a parental connection of america to france.
the american revolution certainly shared similarities and even inspiration to that of the french revolution, but id think there's a very strong "vice versa" to follow, which shows a great "parental" relationship in reverse.
further, for every french-influenced instance in the US fore-father's and their doctrines, there are certainly dozens of equally staunch british influences.
