    Not at all. Most Americans are ignorant of their history/heritage, thus forums like this have to fill in the gaps.

    Also the ideals of the American Revolution were destroyed by the American Civil War, the philosophy of a British Merchantile System of Alexander Hamilton/Henry Clay/Abe Lincoln, and finally in 1913 when the elections of Senators were changed from state legislatures to the people.
