DBWI: Sir Washington joins the American Rebellion?

It would only end in Sir Washington being hung for treason. I do not think that the number one land and naval power in the world can be defeated by peasants no matter who was leading them.

Your anti-colonial bigotry is showing, the American Rebellions were all the product of the middle and upper classes who were driven by economics, they didn't want to pay taxation without representation in Parliament.

There were several other factors, but a lot of the lower classes (especially during the First Rebellion) were either neutral or supported the crown since, "Why trade one tyrant a thousand miles away for a thousand tyrants one mile away?"

I just find the whole situation laughable. Didn't the lower classes make up about 95% of the population? It would explain the later Engelist (OOC: IOTL Marxist) movements that the region experienced.

One of my friends claims that if Sir George joined the rebellion, it would have lead to France rebelling which in turn lead to England rebelling. I cannot find the words to make fun of him.

Some of this is true, but I'll have to issue a correction on the latter-not many people in the lower class actually supported the crown outside of the East Country in the Carolinas, and some Puritans in New England. Especially close to the Appalachians, many of the Scots-Irish in particular were fairly sympathetic to the rebels.
