I thought Tory's were the American's fighting for the British in the Revolutionary war. I never heard it used in the civil war. ThunderkatzHo! 08:24, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

I just looked at Wikpedia, and appartently its both. I'll add the Revolutionary part and keep the civil part. ThunderkatzHo! 08:57, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Why did the category "british politics" get deleted? ħumanUser talk:Human 01:26, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Because it was unnecessary.
I see no more reason for a "British politics" cat than I do a "German politics", "Zimbabwean politics", "Venezuelan politics", "Italian politics", "American politics", and "Russian politics" categories. RationalWiki is not a general encyclopedia, therefore there is no reason to pointlessly divide our political articles by country. Dividing up what is only a handful of articles in the first place is fruitless and rather unhelpful.
