Pedant alert!!

For those who may be in doubt, the battle between the Monitor and Merrimack occurred on March 9, 1862, during the Civil War. It was a naval engagement that occurred at Hampton Roads, Virginia, a harbor at the mouth of the James River, and was notable as history's first duel between ironclad warships, and the beginning of a new era of naval warfare.

Illustration.

It had nothing to do with the American Revolution. OR the "Boston Tea Party," which, presumably, the "Tea Party" considers itself to be a modern version of.

Every kid who stayed awake in their high school American History class knows that. So. . . .
