Yeah their history is glossed over in this country to an extent.

They WERE brutally cruel during the Revolution and Mel Gibson’s movie about the war was a LOT more accurate than people want to admit.

They did burn a church with people locked inside.

I just don’t get how that matters to a person in the present crying about oppression that happened a long time ago.

And NOT to them.
