This revolution talk reminds me of an article I recently read: "Escaping Washington for Freedom"

It is full of excellent content. A line has stuck in my head: "The fact that people celebrate [Washington's] name, his birthday, and his legacy while forgetting or erasing those of Harry and Oney Judge is an insult to those who suffered at his hands; that he is remembered as a revolutionary hero shows that the American Revolution has yet to take place."
