"In North America alone, it is estimated that the British Empire killed more than 50 million indigenous people between 1492 and 1900. And it is not just indigenous peoples who were killed by the British Empire...
According to estimates by Tharoor, 35 million Indians were killed by British policies in the aftermath of several famines...
While it is impossible to know exactly how many people were killed by the British Empire by 1914, estimates range from tens of millions to upwards of 100 million people. The true number will likely never be known, but what is certain is that the British Empire was responsible for the deaths of millions of people during its time....
The British Empire was built on sweat and blood. Over the centuries, the British military has been involved in wars all over the world in order to protect the British Empire and its citizens from invaders. The British Empire provided stability and prosperity to the world. Many countries have established democracy as a result."

"Human sacrifice, such as we found in the plant-dominated, equatorial domain, where an identification of Human destiny with the model of the vegetable world conduced to rites of death, decay, and fruitful metamorphosis, we do not find among hunters unless there has been some very strong influence from the other zone (as, for example, in certain rituals of the Pawnee). The proper sacrifice for the hunter is the animal itself which through its death and return represents the play of the permanent substance or essence in the shadow world of accident and chance."

"First, we must understand that English common law is not civil law."
[Sir William Blackstone & the Common Law, Robert Stacey, Ph. D., 2003, Ch. 3 The English Common Law Tradition, p. 47]

"Like the rest of creation, man is subject to laws laid down by the Creator. Man, unlike the rest of creation, has a certain degree of free will, but, says Blackstone, even this free will is governed and limited by God's law.
Furthermore, man is not left to his own, fumbling around in search of an elusive law; rather God has affirmatively revealed His law so that man may find it acceptable."
[Sir William Blackstone & the Common Law, Robert Stacey, Ph. D., 2003, Ch. 4 The Legal Theory of Blackstone's Commentaries, p. 61]

"In the Anglosphere, and especially in America, many believed that the liberties of the Anglo-Saxons had been destroyed by the Norman Conquest in 1066.14

GRAHAM, JR, FEDERAL PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE § 6342, at n. 80–107 (summarizing the common view of Americans and of English Whigs about the imposition of “the Norman yoke” in 1066).]"

“No form of government contains a provision for its own dissolution; and few governors will consent to the extinction, or even to any abridgement, of their own power.”
[The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy, Book VI, Ch. 3, The Duty of Submission to Civil Government Explained, William Paley, 1775]
