How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

[Epimethean]

I think it would have escaped the English history books initially out of embarrassment, but now, all this time later, unless one is specifically investigating the origins of the U.S., it probably is not particularly important on a world scale.

Or it's because of what the U.S has become. What's to miss? Think we got the better deal to be honest.

4th of July is the day all Brits wipe off the sweat from their foreheads and go "thank fuck" with a huge wave of relief.

LOL. Not so sure of that, but it makes for fun reading, Ace. I love the UK, but it hasn't been exactly a leader on a world scale since it gave up on kings with power. That said, perhaps that was the best thing that could happen, since you all have moved on in getting rid of poxes like religion and homophobia while the U.S. still pretends not to be imperialistic while spreading its fat ass cheeks on every Middle Eastern country whose politics it doesn't like.
