Editing the Declaration of Independence

On the chopping block: "These facts have given the last stab to agonizing affection, and manly spirit bids us renounce forever" our old friends and brothers. "We must endeavor to forget our former love for them. ... We might have been a free and great people together."

Now, which country was Thomas Jefferson talking about? Great moments in public education.

Musta been China. That's it.
