I didn't ask for that, I asked for evidence of your claim that my comrade is anti-American and posts "anti-American propoganda" as you say, this has not been forthcoming.

You must be kidding! The tangled web you weave.

Given that the first person to even mention Washington was an American your post looks ridiculous. Some might even call it "pathetic". American anti Americans, a new breed of person as far as i'm aware of.

Prior to 1775, the militia was fighting against the British forces, that makes them a resistance. Wiki, that you quoted, refers to them as resistance.

[quote]If you are claiming that George Washington had "begun to lead a resistance (militia) against the British as early as 1769" and "by 1773, members of the resistance that he was leading were engaging in Guerilla tactics", then you need to provide some proof of that, with links or articles that show this to be true. Otherwise, it is just your opinion.[quote]

"Washington first took a leading role in the growing colonial resistance in 1769" Washington called for the Boycott of english goods in the house of Burgesses, than the governer of Vierginia closed down the house of Burgesses, and the members (of which Washington was one) continued to meet in taverns to continue with their resistance.

Riots occured and british troops and tax colletecters were killed by the resistance, all of which was organized by members of the founding fathers, though pamphleteers sent to the Patriots and to the Sons of Liberty.

If you want, read the book, "from resistance to revolution," it has a much finer detail towards the connections of GW and the Patriots. As I don't own the book and there aren't text avalible on line, I can't pull any quotes for you.

He didn't lead a resistance in Military terms. He did a non violent protest and boycotts. There is a huge difference again in Civil Resistance and Military Resistance. When one thinks of Guerilla Tactics.. its based on Military resistance.


That said.. He was Rebel. So was every American from 1775-1783 as the United States was not recognized by the British Government.

Another fine insult from the pacifist of the group. No ignorance on my part, just the FACTS. Where does that leave you, young man? I have shown proof that he was not a guerilla leader. You have not shown ANY proof, either way. You are following the crowd, which makes you a follower. Rather than refute my claim, you resort to name calling, which is a direct reflection of your maturity.

Name calling?
