What if?

What if the British had succeeded in disarming the colonists in Lexington and Concord?

Even faced with armed rebellion, the King only grudgingly gave up power over the colonies.
Do you think His Majesty would have done so if confronted only with petitions, protest marches and sternly worded letters-to-the-editor?

If history teaches us anything, it should be that the use of force is always regrettable, even when it's a necessity.

But there are times when it is a necessity.

The trick is to know when.
