My family lost more members in the American revolution than any other family. We are not in the history books, yet our sacrifices outweigh any other recognized revolutionary. My family accepts this because our history is protected by our silence. Indeed, there are other families like this. It is only in the public light that figures become idolized and thenceforth become an 'object' to be attacked and undermined. Believe me, there is much more to the American Revolution than you have been taught.
