    Actually, the British colony of Canada in 1775 was barely 12 years old and was handed out to the British by the French who lost in a battle of war in 1763. The Loyalist who fled the USA to Canada were loyal to the crown and were, of course well treated by the leader of the British colony. Who needs a tight grip when you know your people are happy?

    T.J. was a deist, if that. Please stop the mythmaking about our founders being Christians, it just fuels the wackaloons who want to turn America into a theocracy.
