Sour grapes.
It’s my observation over the years, learning about history on my own while seeing what’s presented in school (and also in many TV quickie-history shows of the past). Sorry, but it’s true we’re given the impression in schools that the RevWar was mostly “all about” the New England patriots, both in fomenting rebellion and fighting it, and nothing much else happened. Except that the war “ended” (NOT) at Yorktown, which was in VA.
