Take Ireland it is not that the English will have to do anything to help us move from a post colonial to a truly free mindset, it is the Irish that have to come to terms with what happened to them. Our nation was formed by continual tragedy and by a sucessful resistance in order to achieve freedom, hence PVC is naturally incapable of understanding why I wouldnt shout for England if Ireland went out early this summer in Poland/Ukraine.
To the Englishman this question is settled and he has moved on (it wasnt really a big part of his mindset anyway) but for us it is merely the start of the journey of who and what we will become due to freedom we have achieved.
Therefore it's not the Northern Unitied States that has to do anything it is the South that will have to work through it's own culture, beliefs etc etc to eventually come to terms with what happened and what they did.
