How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

[Autumnlicious]

By the way moros, it was a civil war. Unless you would like to call the American civil war a revolution also? Who's revolution would it be anyways? Probobly the south's they just didn't win but they were the rebels.

By calling it a "civil war", you've now conflated colonial revolts with warring states in an empire.

By that standard, isn't this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%27s_F...%28term%29 ) a civil war for Britain as well instead of a series of disparate, partially organized revolts?

I'm not certain you'll find many historians who'd characterize it as a such.

They might characterize it as a civil war for Indians, but not for the British.
