Granted my grasp of history is a bit sketchy, but when you say ..."those liberties secured by Englishmen and bequeathed to their American colonists" you mean we shot y'all's azzes up at Lexington and Concord and sent you packing back to Boston when you tried to take our guns and ammo, then yes, I agree.
A better grasp of history would confirm you just picked a good time to depart (and a strategic ally). It actually wasn't some kind of David and Goliath triumph. I know it's sometimes surprising but often, there are things going on outside your country. But having said that, myth making is important and in America's case, led to great things.
