One more American Revolutionary Era thing before I forget, cuz it's funny as hell:
The UK didn't recognize American independence until 1783, via The Treaty of Paris.
A painting was commissioned to commemorate the occasion, but the British delegates refused to pose for it.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’
Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?
