When it comes to education in the United States regarding the British army in the American War of Independence, there are an awful lot of terrible misconceptions and myths. Unfortunately, rather than being combated by our school systems and wider academia, they are often time reinforced and printed as fact. This book, which claims to be a “Hands-on History Book” geared towards young children and researched by experts in the field, is one of the worst examples. It parrots a wide variety of myths which are, to any expert in 18th Century military history, obviously false, and in doing so portrays Government forces during the American War of Independence in an unjust, negative, and outright false way. I shudder to think at how many children have had their opinions of the war shaped by pieces like this! -
