I actually think that the Ubisoft Montreal guys have a more accurate depiction of the Revolutionary War here- even with the templar vs assassins thrown ine. Like Funk said, it was a British Civil War. It was more like the Bolshevik Revolution (just replace the ties to communism with the desire to become independent of the British Crown's supposed mistreatment. It's a semi-functional comparison.), or even the American Civil War. One side, the British colonists, felt that they weren't getting all the rights and treatment they deserved as British citizens. Independence actually wasn't on their minds till a point in time close to the war itself. The other side believed the colonists were being outrageous. Both sides were kind of pushed to the brink by actions of another. And because they didn't let the colonists have any say in Parliament at all, which would have resolved several of the issues. I really dislike it when it's portrayed as the evil British government wanting to take away the righteous American patriots' freedom. But I suppose that's what living in America does. I am interested to know how the British view the war, both from a patriotic and historiographical standpoint.
