LOL, I consider the American Revolution as one of the most poorly "hyped" events in human history. No good movies, no mini-series, no Burns crockumentary. I am fascinated by it, and wonder what Washington, Adams, and Jefferson would think of what their creation today. I'm guessing that no matter which side of the federalist - republican argument they were on then, they can't be pleased with what is here today.

Yep...we're on the same page, friend. There's nothing like the story of the RevWar, and Hollywood can't get it right (The Patriot was ok, but it was really Lethal Musket).

The truth of the Revolution was better than anyone can make up.

Actually, PBS did a six part miniseries called "Liberty!" a few years ago that was really quite good - I believe it's available on video if you'd like to check it out.
