Recent events have me curious about exactly how bloody the American revolution was. I tried asked chatGPT but it was evasive at best so I was hoping some more history minded hexbears could help me out. Bonus points for examples of innocent people caught in the crossfire. I want to throw some stats at the liberals in my life about what even a "good" revolution looks like.

Death to America

    So, fun fact!

    The term lynching was invented during this period because a gentleman named Charles Lynch went around with mobs to punish anyone who he thought wasn't enough of a patriot for his liking

    Lot of people who weren't soldiers or merchants ended up beaten or worse because of this guy; enough that the act of extrajudicial violence ended up being named after him

          I get a surreal thrill out of reading hexbears accurately parodying things liberals say

          The terrorists in the colonies should have tried to reason with Britain first to come up with a peaceful transfer of power. It's what any sane body of people would do.
