How is the American Revolution taught in the UK?

[Autumnlicious]

What you don't seem to appreciate is that the American colonists were amoung the least repressed or taxed members of the empire for the period had an unusually large amount of clout.

Saying you're not as bad to us as others is like an abuser telling his current victim "See, I'm not so bad to you as the last guy".

I never told Britain to be grateful. And I sure as hell didn't rub certain... world war support in your face.

I merely pointed out that if your subjects consider themselves equal to homeland citizens, then you might as well find a way to accomodate that. It merely follows that you can give the appearance of such without truly executing actual actions toward such.

Your collective loss, not mine.

Frankly, I wonder if the whole American Civil War could've been avoided were we under the Crown and the abolition of slavery occurred.

But we're not and Britain missed an opportunity.

Oh well.
