Empire Total War - Road to Independence( General Washington's story)

[cookiemonster9052]

i hate the road to independence campaign. Takes to long and the british never go away.

[mangajo]

calling invaders "pioneers." ranks among the biggest spin jobs in history

[humbletim10]

dont like how they make the indians look like the bad guys.

the pioneers were murderers, religious nutjobs that britain kicked out.

[calvinandhobbes730]

@humbletim10 if you kicked someone out cause there insane, would you tax the fuck out of them(i agree with you entirely, but everyone in Europe at that time was, these people were a diff. religion then the rest, they left on there own from the British religion)

[XXGDUBSXX]

@humbletim10 Your naive if you only think that Europeans can be violent and murderous.

[humbletim10]

@XXGDUBSXX of course it wasn't just the europeans, although the puritans were particuarly nasty.

But This Video does not show both sides of the coin, its a straight up 'good' colonists VS 'bad' indians portrayal.

listen to it:

"like the intrepid Cpt john smith and his fellow settlers, we too seek a new world, not only for ourselves but for future generations of americans..."

*indians lurk in shadows* *cue sinister music*

and the freedom quotes from the the life-long slave owner...so much BS :/

[OnlyTy91]

@humbletim10 The Indians did their fair share of murdering, too. And to the colonists, they *were* 'bad guys'. They were used as payed mercenaries a lot of the time by the British, and they would raid settlements and towns, and steal or slaughter women and children.

[humbletim10]

@OnlyTy91 true enough, that happened sometimes. as for mercenaries, everyone used them, the brits, the french and the patriots.

its easy to see why they are pissed though. minding their own business when suddenly, out of friggin nowhere, thousands of crazy disease-ridden puritans show up and start encraoching on their lands/killing them, both deliberately and inadvertently, through war and plague.

[OnlyTy91]

@humbletim10 Oh, definitely! Yeah, the colonists were probably worse than the Indians, in their own ways. Especially in the way that they would just completely destroy their cultures... i dunno. I try not to think of it so much like that, though; I mean... We wouldn't be here, if the colonists had been 'nice', I suppose. lol.

You bring up great points, though.

[WereNotFamousAnymore]

they thought for freedom against tyrants and now look at them they are the fucking tyrants and they call freedom fighters terrorists

"contradiction"

[mightmareofgores]

try explaning that to them theyr own politicians and medias made them un aware from what is rly happening

[link6248icp]

@WereNotFamousAnymore And after the civil war, it took a century to take injustice to colored people down and when they where fighting in WW2 for freedom in other countries, blacks where not even allowed to be in an unit of whites

*Facepalm*
