Opinion of America's Founding Fathers

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Traitors to the crown.

Despite being traitors at least they have the distinction of leading one of the few revolutionary independence movements that did not turn into despotism once independence was won.

Of course that was largely because prior to the French and Indian War, the colonies were essentially de facto autonomous and after that war, Parliament tried to strip away that autonomy without offering anything in return.  Hence they had the advantage of building upon existing traditions of responsible government.
