The amazing true story of the American Revolution

Or not, as the case may be.

First of all, we have Kermit the Frog to thank for getting the Boston Tea Party straightened out:



Those who maintain that a frog had nothing to do with the American Revolution know perfectly well that it was, in fact, a mouse who made all the difference. This Disney short seems all but forgotten nowadays:





Speaking of all but forgotten, we definitely should revisit "Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America, Volume One: The Early Years." The album feels really dated, but it's still funny. I used to play this for my family on all national holidays, until they threatened to disown me. (There's not much to watch on the video, just an LP spinning around on a turntable. If you have young kids, you might want to show it to them. They may never have seen such one of these.)



If the Revolution didn't happen any of the ways, we don't want to know about it!
