Who has been America's worst President?

[Хahar 🤔]

Buchanan, then Reagan.

Or that the United States fought a war to protect their right to secede from Great Britain?

No, they fought a tax revolt that got turned into a revolution.  Independence was, except for a few Yankee hotheads, not the intent of the colonists at first.

Aye. To me, the protestors always seemed like a bunch of E +9.5 whiners. They were getting a lot more from the mother country than they were giving it. But a few taxes? No, rebellion is necessary.

I hate the one-sided way in which our history textbook presented it (though, of course, that is to be expected).

I think you're kidding. But, seriously Britain was trying to make the American colonies pay for the Seven Years War (or at least in a disproportionate manner). Maybe they could have asked their ally Prussia to cover expenses

'Twas but a meager fee, and hadst not the mother country protected the colonies through thick and thin for decades upon decades without monetary reward?

Now you know how I feel when I read War of Southern Independence history from a textbook.

Civil War history can also be far too one-sided. In fact, history is in general. I've yet to find a balanced book dealing with the Nazis.
