► MERCANTILISM, the economic system of the olden days. IT WAS KINDA DUMB, cause wtf @ wealth equaling gold(here's looking at you, Spain) and colonies existing to PIMP ENGLAND OUT or whatever.
Especially cause he was never around ever, but hey - hey that was a good thing. Good old ► Salutary Neglect for, huh what - over a century and a half? Hi, pops! Having trouble staying together? That's cool, be safe. Bye, pops! I'll just be totally ignoring the ► Navigation Laws over here. Making you rich over my hard work!
Should have just stuck with those useless ► Royal Governor types! All they did was sit around waiting to be paid by my colonists. "Oh I have the power to veto you, but WHO'S PAYING ME AGAIN? OH YEAH. Y'ALL."
Good thing England had a total rage boner over papists at the time, right? /hypocrisy ►Glorious Revolution is GLORIOUS. And who the hell tries to create a super colony out of me, ONLY I CAN DO THAT.
( woops: James II was EXILED TO FRANCE PEACEFULLY [well peaceful in ENGLISH ROYALTY STANDARDS/and or the mafia. "Hey, do you remember how we BEHEADED THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR FATHER? DO. YOU. REMEMBER."], cause his son was Catholic.
PS, ► John Locke, that guy who backed England up? Yeah, Jefferson had a huge mancrush on him.
► Government is a contract between the ruler and the people? I'm down with that. I am completely okay with being gay with that concept. But apparently England isn't.
Well, his ► Parliament is - but they're kinda England's real boss anyway and they were all kinda hella PROTESTANT! MUST FIND PROTESTANT KINGS! EVEN HEY YOU RANDOM GERMAN GUY WHO WON'T LEARN ENGLISH YEAH YOU COME OVER HERE!!!!
Or at least that's what England says.
