So, I am wondering if the British teach that the Revolutionary War was fought against a great military power in the USA or was it a war against a bunch of people who were pissed off because they just wanted to be left alone.

A rebellion that was put down by King George. The rebellion concluded with colonies submitting to a treaty requiring the full repayment of all costs associated with the war. The British styed after as tax enforcers. The colonies defaulted on payment to the crown in 1811. Next...
We failed to pay. 2000 was the repossession.
Do they delve deeply into the Treaty, or is it simply glossed over without the main points being discussed?
It wasn't just about tea/taxation. It was a rebellion against coming under the control of Bank of England. George's cost of the war was financed. That's a clue. We got our first "Central Bank"..."Bank of North America" in 1782 which became "First Bank of the United States... privately owned and modeled after the Bank of England. Default got us the war of 1812. The British didn't have to sail back over as they had never left. Banksters then, banksters now.
They’re still here..
