    If I remember correctly the British have a different name for the War for Independence, and downplay it like it’s no big deal.

      we didn’t really learn about it in high school. from memory we did the Tudors, the Stewarts, the Romans, Boudica, the Egyptians, Great Fire of London, Norman invasion, the black Plague, WW1, WW2, Iron Age, Bronze Age, Renaissance, The Enlightenment.

      edit: plus the Raj

      and we do some on the slave trade and America is mentioned but not the main character and civil rights/suffrage which does mention more American stuff (Rosa parks, MLK)
