        Most of history is made up of stories.

        We can tell different stories of history and many even conflicting ones can be true, but they don’t all have the same weight in their impact to the course of events.

            The Boston Massacre was a real event. British soldiers fired into a crowd of hundreds, killing several. Maybe Paul Revere embellished it, but it’s not made-up.

        The “more villainous” part is odd to me, but the subjective claim that the federalists were just v2.0 of the British empire is strong “don’t tread on me” libertarian vibes ngl
