Comment Reported for: Rule 2 - Violent Speech
Comment Approved: This doesn't really count as what the rule is for. Not to mention everyone in America was considered British, as it was a British colony. So I guess maybe pushing out those damned hessians might have helped, but I don't know to what end, because the comment doesn't make sense to me at all.
The major reason there was no purge after the Revolutionary War like what happens after pretty much every other revolution was because of unfettered population trading across a border that didn't exist yet - Loyalists headed north of the St Lawrence Seaway, Republicans headed south. Make of it what you will.
I would say it's more like "that's not the English way" and "It's a Liberal Revolution with a Civic National identity". There's no reason for a purge.
Shortly after the revolutionary war, Benjamin Franklin started a German newspaper. He was the same one who complained about the Germans who had migrated into the British colonies earlier.
