My favorite one that was until I watched Hamilton, I believed that the French betrayed us during the Revolutionary War and fought for England. I distinctly remember being taught that Lafayette sank American ships and allowed the British to advance. It’s fucking wild.

What? Even in terms of bullshit falsehoods that get taught in schools, that’s a new one on me. Are you sure you didn’t just… learn it wrong or something?

I mean, Ben Franklin going to France to get support for the revolution was a whole thing, ya know?

I would be interested to find out if your childhood friends remember it the same way or not.
