pr00ne....you are correct in part of what you say. To the degree the real whupping occurred after the treaty had been signed but the word had not gotten to the troops in the field in Louisana. Reckon you could spare some troops to chase the current occupant of the White House out of town? Just ask them not to burn it down this time though would you.
As to the Colony being British and thus a dustup between Brits....the American Indian holding first claim to the land would challenge that concept in totality. They did not control immigration to their lands and we see how that turned out. As history repeats itself....I fear what is coming in the future as a result of our current inability to control the flood of folks heading north. The fence we need to build is one that runs either side of I-35....from Mexico to Canda!
Odd how time changes things...the British have become more an ally than the French despite the assistance they provided in the creation of this country of mine.
No gratitude for past events I guess.
