Why would people get worked over with this?

Most of the people you will kill in the game will either be nameless generic NPCs or fictional characters created by Ubisoft to develop the Templar Story.

I dont think you'll see anyone or hear anyone say, "OH hey that is my great great great great great great (well too many maybe) grandfather I just killed holy cow son of a Jimmy!".

Only person I see in the game from the trailers I've seen so far that pretty much is a real person is George Washington (unless someone else can tell me if there are other real people in the game).

^ Even if there are more, would they be killed by the main character, matterfact, does it matter? Not like they died in "real" history.

Off-topic, but too many? Doubtful. My daughter's great-great grandfather is still alive today, while her great-great-great-grandmother (on another side of the family) passed away in the 60s. Typically, each generation has roughly 25 years in-between them, so someone's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather today would have been their age now 175 years ago, give-or-take, potentially.
