Harvey,
In paragraph seven you state that the United States of A. was founded as the first anti-imperialist revolution in history. This is nonsense. First it was not a revolution so much as an insurrection or as some British scholars put it, another English civil war. The purpose behind the insurrection was to remove George III's fingers from the till and replace them with the likes Alexander Hamilton et al. The only revolutionary aspect of the struggle was the removal of the veneer of royalty from the class that owns and controls most of everything. As far as imperialism, the new nation took up where Britain left off and it still continues today.
