Holy fucking shit why are so many online self-proclaimed history buffs completely unaware of the myriad of critical characterizations of the American Revolution that don't involve takes that sound like second-grade, red state, public school dialogs from a teacher who's spent the entire last week watching repeats of Hamilton?
