For comparison prior to the revolutionary war only like 25% supported breaking away from Britain


I'm sure this survey methodology was very well-designed.

So, Virginia is skewing the numbers... Give the south West Virginia and give the northeast Virginia...


Cut off Maryland's panhandle and give it to West Virginia. Cut off the northern Virginia counties that are basically DC bedrooms, and give that to Maryland. The rest of Virginia is conservative, as is western Maryland.

Virginia should be split in two. Give the Northeast the Northern Virginia, DC suburban area and the rest of Virginia would gladly take the South.

BTW if the truth about election fraud is truly revealed and acted upon many of these blue states will be surprised that they are actually red states. That would change the dynamic of the map considerably.

It's been a long time, I have no idea what numbers they threw out in university, but only a small part of society participated in the revolution. Most sat on the sidelines. And there were brutal fights between loyalists and rebels.

Many of the loyalists ended up fleeing Canada.

The South is most definitely a culture and certainly worth saving more than the soulless black hole that is American pop culture.

Which culture is it you think is being saved?

Is or is worthy? “Is” would currently be now of them. Culturally this country has gone to seed. To the lowest base existence with no value.

Worth saving? The judaeo Christian value system as represented in the Appalachian mountains. The “mountain right” values and morals. Honest libertarian mixed with older Christian values. The system that created a study American that honors the past but looks to the future. One that rarely saw slavery, that was its own side in the civil war, that still goes to church, and still honors God.

I look back at the 90’s and how you couldn’t tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats. We all got along for the most part. Now it’s just so divided. It’s not over slavery or economics.... it’s ideological identify politics. Of course the marxists and commies want the division so they can take over for good.

The claim was only 25% of people supported the revolution, not participated in it.

I'm saying our ability to know that is highly dubious, given the limitations of large-scale survey methods in the mid-to-late 1700s.
