Not quite (although after my observations in my life, I do have some things against NE; I also like things about it, as my father is from there as did some of his brothers still live there, and I lived there 2 years liking many things).

Sorry, but it’s just true that many people have the impression it was mostly about NE.

I’m not talking people who really study it in any sense. I’m talking school systems which gloss over the RevWar as it is. They seem more interested in the lead-up, which partly explains the impression left. Even my husband, a Yankee who loves military stuff (but never a big “fan” of the RevWar), thought most stuff was way up north.

There are facts, and there are impressions.

I still can’t see how you’d think it’s impossible people would ignore facts. Liberals do all the time. They don’t necessarily ignore - they’re never taught in the 1st place, and if they’re not interested (95% of the people), they won’t know.

Consider that over 50% of American history teachers did not major in history, it's not a surprise their students don't know where Rev. War battles were fought.

In a recent survey, most college freshman can't identify the DOI vs. Constitution vs. Bill of Rights.
