Maybe Fox News might bring it up, but what you're exaggerating is the reaction the general public would have. Maybe if a game tried really hard to make Abraham Lincoln honestly look like an evil, bloodthirsty tyrant, it would put people off. But by and large, ex-presidents (not even the founding fathers) aren't gods to people who don't read libertarian blogs, so no one would care if the game has templars working on the revolutionary side.

I only made a slight exception for Lincoln because...well, he's Lincoln. He's an empathetic folk hero who never told a lie, freed the slaves and preserve the union, and then died for our sins. He's as close to untouchable as it gets.
