2. Uhmmmm. I think the US had it during the Revolutionary War.
Certainly not in ALL Americans, lots of royal sympathizers, but I can't imagine myself NOT reading of this level of conviction, when the US was occupied by what it then regarded as a foreign invading power on a free people's soil, post Declaration of Independence.

Remember, Israel occupied the place for 18 long years. Occupation is something that, therefore, everyone above the age of 6 (or say 9, to get everyone to toddler and up) has personal experience with... conviction would come to the US a lot faster if it was occupied by a foreign power. Should be grateful such conviction is not required at present.
