From the Manhattan Infidel Archives: July 1776: Colonies Vote for a “Brexit”

Dateline Philadelphia, July 1776.

World financial markets took a tumble today upon the news that the north American colonies voted “Yes”  on a so-called “Brexit“, the exit from Great Britain.

“The people of the colonies have spoken” said John Adams, one of the leaders of the Brexit movement.

We have taken back our country. No longer will we be ruled by a distant bureaucracy whose only interest is lining their pockets. We are free. The second day of July 1776 will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forevermore.

Thomas Jefferson, another leader of the Brexit movement stated that move was necessary to control its borders.

“Great Britain has prevented us from expanding our territory” he said.

Not only has he obstructed the laws for the naturalization of foreigners but he has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, otherwise known as the native Americans, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Still not everyone is happy with the vote for independence, with many lamenting the loss of access to England’s financial markets.

“I do all my trading with England” said a farmer in Virginia.

We are an English people. We think in English. We use English products. It’s only natural that we would trade with them. How is this exit going to affect us? Will I still have access to their markets? Will I have to pay more? It’s all uncertainty right now.

Others who wanted to remain part of England complain that Adams, Jefferson and others in the Leave camp were motivated by racism.

“The institutional racism of the colonies has shown itself again” declared Ye Olde New Yorke Times in an editorial.

Adams, Washington, Jefferson and others like him are all white. All old. All Anglo-Saxon. This so-called Brexit is nothing more than a cloak to cover their desire to keep the North American continent white. They want to keep the Germans and the Dutch, those non-white races from our land. But as far as the wild Irish, well in this case we agree with Adams and Jefferson. The Irish should be kept off of this continent. I mean, we are all for open borders. But we draw the line with the Irish. Do we ever!

Whatever the motives of the leaders for independence, which must remain within their hearts, they were dealt a blow when Washington was forced to evacuate the island of Manhattan to the British.

“This is just a temporary setback” said Washington.

“I just wish we didn’t have to leave so quickly. I think I left my teeth behind.”

    Yet more shameless posturing from old, white, privileged MEN.

    Thanks, Infidel, for exposing this charade of so-called “democracy.”
