How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

RE: How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?
Interesting to hear that the American Revolution is hardly mentioned in the school curiculum. But then, when I was in school, we didn't learn much about English history. Other than Henry VIII I couldn't tell you much about British monarchs.

A few years ago we took a trip to Lexington and Concord to visit the places where the revolution started. At Concord there were a couple of graves where British soldiers are buried. The graves were well marked with English flags and treated with reverence. I was pleased to see that, although they were "the enemy", their final resting place is treated with respect.
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?
