The rebels did find intolerable that the quebecois were given any rights, they tended to be quite anti-catholic, a trait that later shows up as a justification when the slavers take Tejas and other mexicano territory

I've read some of the Founding Father's letters when they mention Catholics. I think it was Jefferson that pondered whether Catholicism and freedom were mutually exclusive.

It's interesting reading the intolerable acts. By and large, you leave with the thought...you think that's intolerable...you should see what they're doing to us now!

It was considered even more intolerable when Whitehall stated that treaties signed should be honoured...

That was a good one. After Virginia invades French terrority and draws England into war pushing it into debt defending the colonists Britain imposes this act of tyranny that the colonists should stay out of foreign terrority and leave the Indians alone. In today's perspective, I can just see Texas deciding that they can put Mexico to better use and start taking land. If the Feds but in, it's tyranny!

When the British surrendered a treaty was established where the colonists agreed not to take the land of Loyalists. Signed on the dotted line. The colonists then turned around and started taking land from the Loyalists. America is bound by no treaty! Maybe it's a genetic flaw. We're still doing it.
