Nothing at all..

I suppose it makes sense that it isn't. Not because of the fact that they're somehow embarassed at the American Revolution, but because of the fact that there's clearly too much to go over in a single year. Several times I've had to take comprehensive classes in American History going over 500 years, and the first 250 of those were fairly uneventful, and we still never got past WW1.

For the record, Bernard Cromwell has written some books about the American Revolution from the British POV (Redcoat, and the Fort)

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
