The French of Canada had no such duty. Neither the Scotts of Nova Scotia nor the Germans of Pennsylvania.<br /><br />No, the American-English of the North American colonies fought, bled, killed and died for the benefit of their children and their children's children.

Very c...Ran this story of yours in my Vermont blog. Very cool, and added more knowledge about one of the founding fathers of Vermont<br /><br />Ethan Allen is an everyday man's hero, and won that fame by using all of the tools available to patriots today. Threat, and bluster, show of arms with a willingness to use them led to almost everyone of his achievements being bloodless. We would do well as Americans to seriously study his tactics, methods, and mindset and apply them to today's problems. <br /><br />This case not withstanding however. If you read Ethan's accounts of his captivity, you can see why objectivity in this case went out the window, and this loyalist was in the wrong place at the wrong time for sure. The British were none to kind to the victor of Fort Ticonderoga, and Allen could be a vindictive bastard. As this story shows.<br /><br />While the hippy takeover has led to a progressive power base here in Vermont, those politics are because of Supreme court meddling, giving the cities too much power in a farm state. They have spent their wad however, and even with the figurehead frauds in power, the tighter they try to grip the power, the more the country side slips through their fingers.<br /><br />Ethan Allen had little love for the federal government and the congress, and most real Vermonters today do not ether.Toaster 802https://www.blogger.com/profile/17034456844621365910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-40106593035718220152010-09-07T10:56:38.943-05:002010-09-07T10:56:38.943-05:00between 1780-83 ethan allen was under negotiations...between 1780-83 ethan allen was under negotiations with the governor of quebec to return vermont to the british...(AKA The Haldimand Affair)<br /><br />mostly it was over giving vermonters military protection against new york!<br /><br />parts of this was also the reasoning behind the Constitutional Convention. it was thought that trade wars between states would get them negotiating with foreign powers for extra muscle, like vermont did. and they were well aware that the states would quickly become colonies again if that happened.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113393195056382332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-68562043048280037812010-09-07T10:27:30.850-05:002010-09-07T10:27:30.850-05:00A catamount is a mountain lion.
