"British East India Company

The British East India Company (1600–1858) was originally a private company granted a trade monopoly with the East Indies by Queen Elizabeth I. Its success in extracting concessions from native rulers eventually led to its de facto control over much of modern India between 1757 and 1858. (The company famously owned the tea, from India, destroyed in the Boston Tea Party.) Its fortune grew at a time when companies acted as arms of government for various European nations, which directly supported them with military assistance as part of their mercantilist economic policies. Beginning in the late 18th century, the company promoted opium smuggling into China to reduce the British trade deficit, eventually leading to the Opium Wars and British colonization of Hong Kong."

National-ism, like every "ism," is only credible and logical if and when it's conditioned and controlled by the United States Constitution and its Bill Of Right in particular!
