Do British schools teach the American Revolution?

However I would bet the British schools teach it a lot more objectively than US ones. From what I understand Americans learn it almost mythically and George Washington in generation or two will have miracles attributed to him, (like the time he walked on water).

The British account offers an alternative perspective, much more in common with all other wars, it's about money and politics. Instead of seeing at a war between two countries, (Britain and the US weren't different countries at the time), it sees it more as the First American Civil War, because both sides were largely made up of Americans. The causes of the war were mostly internal issues and the dispute between the two sides about local issues not even a national one. The main issue of the war was the distribution of the wealth within the US. In the North it was mostly middle class Americans rebelling to fight the wealthy and established landholders because they wanted access to wealth and power too. In the South it was a dispute between the wealthy landowners and the poor as they tried to grab what little the poor had, this is an interesting demographic when you consider the start of the Second Civil War in 1860, the middle classes firmly controlled the north and the landed aristocracy the south. If Britain had won you'de have had an aristocratic north and less poverty in the south.

If this was a new attitude it might be different, but it's not, it's aimless US bashing, which I am fricking sick of.

If this is all your going to offer, do us all a favor and go someplace else.
