It's widely excepted that the spark that ignited the American Revolution was a British attempt to seize arms held by the "Patriots" in Concord Mass.
Let's look at reality in today's words.
On April 18 1775 the Kings authorities came under fire and were driven off by armed radicals when they attempted to recover stolen arms and ammunition held by a violent terrorist organization .
The arms, consisting of military rifles, and other assault weapons, stolen from Fort William and Mary in Portsmouth NH the previous December, were known to be in the possession of the "Son's of Liberty", a radical group that had for the previous 10 years been engaged in various acts of violence and terrorism against lawfully appointed tax collectors and other public officials.


We fought a war for stolen property, what will you do for stuff you actually paid for ?
