Every American war summed up in one sentence
America has fought in a lot of wars so it can be hard to keep track of all of them.
As a quick reference guide, here is every American war, each captured in a single tidy sentence.
American Revolution: The Colonials hated King George and his taxes on tea, so they fought to be ruled by President George instead.
Wikimedia CommonsWhiskey Rebellion: Americans hated President George and his taxes on whiskey, but Washington won a bloodless victory and kept his tax.
