"the American Revolution will always be interesting to Americans."

No it won't. Only to people who love to bastardize it. Not that it's a big deal per say, but if people really liked it they'd take the time to actually learn about it instead of spreading false information like saying its main goal was literally only about tea or that there was no actual purpose or benefit.

"[I]f people really liked it they'd take the time to actually learn about it instead of spreading false information like saying its main goal was literally only about tea or that there was no actual purpose or benefit."

I literally do not know of any American over the age of 13 who sincerely believes that the American Revolution was about tea. If you're going to give an overly broad generalization, the better one would be that the American Revolution was all about "taxation without representation" or "independence," which are not entirely inaccurate but also lack serious analysis of the major issues related to the Revolution. It seems to me that your bigger complaint should be that people are gullible when it comes to history. If an author tells a good story, the general populace isn't going to complain about historical accuracy. That doesn't mean that they aren't interested in hearing about the Revolution, just that they're willing to take what they're told at face value. If the truth is told in an interesting way, that would likewise suffice, but authors of creative material intended for entertainment purposes will bend the truth to make for a better story and that's not surprising. "Based on a true story" does, after all, imply that there is some level of inaccuracy in what's being presented. Sometimes, close is good enough.

That being said, Chernow's biography of Hamilton is indisputably historically accurate and still selling well, so I stand by my prior statement.
