The only things we'll get right are that the US won, we were fighting Britan, George III was king and that's it. Everything else will be pure embelishment.
Awesome! What sort of embellishments?
- Washingtong's secret allies: The Klingons!
- Chemical warefare! Minutmen spike the Redcoats' water with LSD!
- Patrick Henry singlehandedly destroys the British Zeppelin factory!
And everybody will
sing!
Oh, wait - that's already been done.
And everybody will sing!

And GW will be winning, so King George will fight dirty.
Ooh, who's playing King George?
