Should this be written from the point of view of the colonists at the time?
How much of the view that these rebels were 'American patriots' is true and how much post revolution propaganda?
Several historians think that even after the Boston Tea Party the colonists could have been reconciled if the King/Parliament had pursued a less dogmatic line.

Interesting, though I'd prefer you reply in Peer Review (I just spotted this while looking through my entries)
I didn't mean to portray them as heroes, but you must admit, they were brave and did inspire a lot of American dreams, so yes, I believe it's fair to consider them patriots

You know, you're right! I'm looking at this now and realized that this is biased American. I'll try to fix it to be more factual
