Hey guys,
I'm at a point in one of my WIPs where a character is arguing that history can be and is often altered depending on the point of view (much like the saying: "History is written by the victors") and one example I'd like to use is the version of the Boston Massacre taught in American schools contrasted with versions taught in British schools (I've heard that it is referred to as "The Boston Incident" across the pond, but haven't been able to verify).
To make a long story short (I know, too late), I'm wondering if some of the British members of the board could give some insight into how the Boston Massacre and, perhaps, the Colonial War in general are covered in their history books.
Thanks!
