It was interesting to me to note that the "Founding Fathers", while making it very clear that they were setting the colonies in an independent direction in spite of the consequences (i.e. war), noted that the British were only considered enemies for as long as the "business" took to complete if successful. Regardless of the outcome, they could in no way be certain that the ties so important to so many in these future United States would survive. 234 years later this Anglophile can only look back and say we are fortunate that our ancestors did recover and forge that "special relationship". So as I join my fellow Americans in celebrating our independence, I also send a hip, hip, hooray to the UK!Chuck Munsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815223305362131302noreply@blogger.com
