MDDM Ch. 58 "Americans All"

[jbor]

It's interesting that there does seem to be genuine sympathy towards the
colonial rebels in _M&D_, and that the way it is depicted (Mason going
South, Dixon north, then vice versa) shows that there was a real unity of
feeling amongst the populace during the mid-1760s (as opposed, I guess to
the North-South rift of the following century, which is also bubbling away
beneath the narrative veneer of the text). Would I be right in saying that
the revolt against England saw the birth of Republicanism in the U.S.?

p.s. American politics does seem to saturate _M&D_ in particular. So does
coffee. Ipso facto, is it justifiable to saturate the list with tirades
extolling the unpalatability of, say, espresso? Spam is spam. Just say "no".
