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.

were you taught anything about the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution, or is that reserved only for College Level Law courses?
No fren I didn't. I instinctively knew about the 2nd amendment, and probably the 1st but nothing taught officially.
That's soo sad.....
There was an excellent breakdown of the U.S. Constitutions preamble, written by a Female Barrister in her last year of Law School a Rhoads, which I was surprised at how she differentiated between ""We the People"" and the Public, vs. the Federal Govt and the various State Govts, vs. the U.S. Citizen Status as different from the State citizen Status......
I really wish I could find that again, I think there are now lots of "mericuns" that would like to learn it from a Law perspective.....
But I guess that "Law", is not something that the crown would want you Brits to learn ground up, just like our Fed Govt has slowly removed it from our schools....
There was a time when by the 8th Grade, our Peoples were Learned than what we have now as College Graduates.....
If you do find it by any chance please post it to me.
I'll try to, but I'm sure I'll just make a regular posting of it......
