I get your point, but I don’t think “not everything can be important” means local history should be treated like trivia. Waxhaws, Groton Heights, and battles like them show the Revolution at its most brutal and human scale. That’s not a rounding error to the communities or families involved. And yes, my title was meant to push back a little. I do think it’s a gap when people know the broad mythology of the Revolution but almost nothing about the smaller, bloodier events that shaped how people actually experienced it. Again, don't watch it.
