I was late to Bridgerton and only saw it as fantasy, not confusing it with history though some characters had a basis in real life. Hamilton I enjoyed very much and found there was a lot of good history in it not normally shared though things like Jefferson and Sally Hemings were too hot to address along with Aaron Burr's messy love life after his wife died.
Young people will have to make an extra effort to learn their history as there is indeed a conspiracy to keep it from them. I am learning American history every day and it keeps getting worse. Be on the lookout in the next couple days for a story on the origin of conjugal sex in prisons. It's as bad as you can imagine.
