Well, I'm glad that you agree that you can't give me a rebuttal! (But then you go on to include various unrelated information, as if attempting to do just that.) The reason that people don't accept your reasoning that the American Revolution was a sucession, is that it doesn't meet the definintion of one. If, in a strange attempt at revisionist history you are going to change the definition of the words used (and fail to include major portions as well, doesn't that feel a bit dishonest?) then I suppose you can call it anything you like. It was the American disco...
Do let me know what your prof says though...
