I wouldnt think it would be, it was a war they lost.
It is an amazing story. how people who were tired of oppression of the king of England, made a new country out of colonies and eventually won a war again t the biggest superpower of the time. the struggles of the people involved, no one today could do what they did.
personally i find it funny to study political adversaries from that time, after the war. starting with John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson's camp accused President Adams of having a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." In return, Adams' men called Vice President Jefferson "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father." As the slurs piled on, Adams was labeled a fool, a hypocrite, a criminal, and a tyrant, while Jefferson was branded a weakling, an atheist, a libertine, and a coward.

The colonies didn't win it all on their own. Without France's help they might have lost.
