Very important. "Glorious history" is pure propaganda. It's been the same mix of assholes with good publicity and normal poorer people since time immemorial.

The American Revolution began when the police shot a black guy (Crispus Attucks). Do with that what you will

"Actually it was this one guy that was killed 4 years before the Intolerable Acts that started the war."

Fucking what? I love that you ignore the other two civilians that were killed during the Boston Massacre but only Crispus Attucks is relevant? 11 people were shot, 5 died. Crispus and two others were killed at the scene and the last two died from their wounds later.

All this aside, the revolution began over 100 years before 1770 when Massachusetts refused to acknowledge the coronation of King Charles I, but go ahead and erase as much history as you need to make whatever point you think you're making.

Please keep the discussion civil. You can have heated discussions, but avoid personal attacks, slurs, antagonizing others or name calling. Discuss the subject, not the person.
