It was a one in a million shot, we got lucky to have forefathers that could read, study and understand the downfalls of all of the other civilized unions, and were brave enough to put forth a plan of action, and actually succeed.
Sure there have since been other Governments throughout the world, but try as they might, none that have been as successful or long lasting.
There are MANY other "Democracies" in the world, but there are no other "Republics" exactly like this, something that is lost on most people today, ask anybody you run into and most will tell you our form of Government is a Democracy, of course, as of right now anyway, they would be incorrect.Last edited by Eagle Road; 05-04-2013, 09:17 AM.

so, you caught three whole mintues
of a history channel show, and you are amazed?
you would be even more amazed if you knew more.
I suggest "Birth of the Republic" by Edmund Morgan.
"The American Revolution" by Edward Countryman.
And "The Unknown American Revolution" by Gary B. Nash
Nash, who was born in Philadelphia, is an excellent source about the unlikely prospects of colonial America's becoming a nation.
