So much misery?
As much as people give America shit, it could be A LOT worse.
I'm damn thankful i was born in a modernized country, and not some 3rd world country wondering if ill live to see tomorrow. We should all be thankful

But when we were under Britain's control, guess who won against the worlds best army with a group of volunteers without a lot of training.

We are the first country of the modern era with a form of democracy, we are the first country with a representative democracy, and we are currently the longest running democracy.

Yes they came up with the idea of the republic we came up with the idea of a republican democracy by combining Athenian Democracy, Spartan checks and balances, and Roman style representation so....

Not saying you were wrong, I love America as much as is required by the state as the next guy. Just throwing the thought out there.

If the UK had democracy before us then why did we have to fight for freedom?

Why did African Americans have to fight for there freedom. The colonists weren't enslaved they were being treated worse than the rich and being taxed hard among other things so they fought back to have the same standard of living as everyone else, not to gain freedom exactly.
