    Most of history is made up of stories.

    We can tell different stories of history and many even conflicting ones can be true, but they don’t all have the same weight in their impact to the course of events.

      Yeah just like how Paul Revere made up the story about the Boston massacre to sell papers.

        The Boston Massacre was a real event. British soldiers fired into a crowd of hundreds, killing several. Maybe Paul Revere embellished it, but it’s not made-up.
