Take the American Revolution where we are taught we fought against tyranny and heavy taxation that was unfair to the colonies. What they don't tend to teach, here, is that we were being taxed to pay for a war the colonists started that England didn't want (French and Indian War). It was England making the American colonies accountable for their actions, and they threw a tantrum.

I didn't want to get swept up in this OT part of the thread but since you mentioned it..
