World War 2

[Thorne]

Great Britain repaid the last of her World War II debts to USA on 31/12/2006 (including interest). Now, when will the Provinces of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North & South Carolinas and Georgia, and the Colonies of Rhode Island & Providence Plantation, Connecticut, Delaware and Virginia pay for their planting, development and defence?

I believe all of that was paid for by the taxes which caused the rebellion in the first place. Besides, that's the fun of being an enemy. You can stiff your creditors much more easily when they're the bad guys.

And I've never fully understood how people who came over here from Europe to start fresh allowed the European monarchies to take over anyway. Who decided that the Americas belonged to the English, or French, or Spanish crowns? Probably the same people who decided that the American West belonged to the American people (read WASP's) instead of the natives who lived there.
