Americans never did understand British Colonialism and how it was a good thing, bringing civilization to barbarians.

Err, might that be because we Americans felt like we were the civilized ones, while it was the Brits who were barbarians? Colonizing wogs is one thing, colonizing the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, James Monroe, George Mason, and the like is something entirely different.

In terms of intellect, education, wisdom, and civilization, I'd put those guys up against all your Kings George with total confidence.
