How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

July 4, 2012 at 11:58 am

Since today is July 4th, it made me think how the American Revolution is taught in schools in the UK. Of course, here in the states it's taught as the colonists rising up against tyranny. What do they teach in UK schools? Are the colonists considered traitors? I'm curious to know how this bit of history is taught on the other side.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
