Its amazing how the colonists were basically just “Lets be Englishmen…but over there instead. And we’ll do all the same stuff, but also totally different.”
And John Adams said “Will there be alchohol?”
And then George Washington said “One day we’ll even name a beer after you.”
Then Benjamin Franklin went off to France to get laid a whole bunch. It was pretty easy to get laid in France in the 1770s if you just showed up, and said you’re leading a revolution against the British, and overthrowing monarchy power. Just tons of pusspuss and fine wine to go around.
