I don’t know why you are criticizing the supreme Court here. They sided with them too. It’s the AG who should be the target of public ire.

Definitely worth a trip if you like history. The Freedom trail connects the historical landmarks plus there’s tons of tours, museums, & educational experiences.

If you ever do a US trip Boston is a good choice.

Elections aren’t just about the President. That’s arguably the least impactful person on the ballot. Look at your local reps running for state positions, find ones you like, they’ll have much more impact on your daily life.

Evidently not.

THE power of regulating the militia and of commanding its services in times of insurrection and invasion are natural incidents to the duties of superintending the common defence, and of watching over the internal peace of the confederacy.

It requires no skill in the science of war to discern that uniformity in the organization and discipline of the militia would be attended with the most beneficial effects, whenever they were called into service for the public defence. - Federalist 29

I found it sold on this website that’s mainly focused on gifts for early US history buffs. You might be able to get a slightly higher resolution version there. But I suspect they probably have the actual file not publicly available as they sell prints of it.

A lot of General Washington’s strategy during the early war was tactical retreating. They were low on resources and it would prolong the war.

The founding fathers were famously divided on federal power. The 2nd amendment is their compromise.

Factually wrong. See Federalist and Antifederalist Papers.

Unironically yes they did exactly that. If memory serves a good amount came from Breeds and Bunker hill (just North of the frame).
