We, in our ignorance of history, tend to forget that a third of the American colonists wanted to stay with England. What gave the US it's independence was the intelligence of most the leaders in the colonies (including the infant Congress. Watch 1776. It actually incorporated a lot of actual speeches by the members of the Continental Congress.) Intelligence in Congress is sorely missing of late.
