They’re of course going to give you the surface level, popular version of what happened. If you want to actually know the real story you need to talk to historians.

No you need to talk to people who have been dead for hundreds of years, your entire argument is based on not trusting historians.

Historians are the ones who break through the myths. Myths are what you’re taught in school. In school they told you all about how the US founding fathers were heroic figures fighting for their freedom…

Did you forget how you wanted to end that or…? 🤷♂️
Regardless, if you don’t think historians are writing history books, what do you think they’re doing? And no, in school they taught me that the US founding fathers founded the US, pretty objective stuff. You know, names, dates, locations, etc. I’m fascinated to hear what else you think I was taught though, this is fun!
