If you think its that simple you're missing a lot. The Revolution was a complex and fascinating clash, politically, diplomatically, and on the battlefield. The events leading up to it and the events in the decades after it are even more interesting.

Some people seem to think King George created an army of red-coated automatons which were destroyed by the minutemen who wrote a constitution and lived happily ever after. Its a shame because the actual events are a truly fascinating study.
