Before

I am starting to agree, a monarch across the ocean may have been less oppressive than a “democracy” at home.

That is true especially today

Not before the revolution but before the civil war they were. I mean really thino about it. Ypu used to be so free you could own slaves without a license. As evil as that is that is real freedom

This is true freedom is not without its trade offs, our government has provided an environment where there is more opportunity than any time before. However, things that can be corrupted will be and our government has grown to be a massive apparatus of extortion on a global scale. Classical slavery is absolutely evil but modern day fiat money is a disguised slavery which forces citizens to work to fund government bureaucracy. #Bitcoin is the natural technological response to tyranny.

It depends in what regard

Less government regulation, taxation, inflation, ect.

then yes, but there's the slavery issue which would be no.
