American colonies had written and signed a declaration of independence
38
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:56.080
proclaiming their independence from England. England's initial reaction was yeah, right, whatever.
39
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:57.800
Then they really pissed.
40
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.680
They thought the Americans were being really ungrateful, so they
41
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.400

42
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.439
