How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

RE: How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?
Don't feel bad.

I only learned about The Troubles after getting interested in Ireland (The Quiet Man prompted me to learn more -- good movie too).

I recently learned about The Anarchy because I rediscovered the excellent TV series Cadfael with Derek Jacobi.

I've learned more and loved more about history (English history included) on my own prompting than any amount of braindead "education" in school prompted me (except for that one teacher, Mr. Daetz, who showed us holocaust footage, etc, for his WW2 unit. That class was unbelievably depressing, but definitely shaped my views on justice).
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
