Face it, King George may have been a foolish King, but he was no evil tyrant. John Wesley scolded us at the time for our attitude and lack of submission. We ignored him, of course, and rebelled anyway. Americans are a stiff-necked people. Many of our cultural heroes are stiff-necked rebels.
Rebellion is an American trait.
Sometimes even in the church. The business of America is business. We love people who start with nothing and make a bundle. Even if they make it selling us something we don't really need. Americans like people who make things and sell them shamelessly.
