Adults do not see it much different, look at all of the explanations the Smithsonian article has to give just to help people break through the distortion field

Adults do not see it much different, look at all of the explanations the Smithsonian article has to give just to help people break through the distortion field to understand why these people did what they did. There was a plan by British colonists to stop an insurrection and treason. It didn't work, and it resulted in secession and eventual sovereign immunity preventing any further prosecution, led by the very man they did not kill. If you break the law but win your cause you get sovereign immunity, but there are still consequences, children already understand this. The teenagers that win their nation state understand this, the ones that lose understand this. Does the American story need to be taught as "but we're the good guys"? How did we get to this outcome and were alternatives hurtful to the union? Was that a problem?
