re: #184 Soona’

So you can say without a doubt, that there were no loons, nuts, and wackjobs in 1776. No loons, nuts, and wackjobs in the Continental Army?

Nope can’t say that at all. The voices that were heard and heeding were not however.

Paine, Jefferson, and John Adams carried the day. The more volatile Sam Adams was secondary in the events.

The arguments that carried the day were articulate, cogent and in final analysis mostly factual. The grievances in the Declarations of Independence were not conspiracies.
