ok i was talking to this kid from the uk on a program called Xfire he said he had no idea about the american revolution so does that mean that the government is not teaching their students about the war?

Hi Zachman61
mmm thats an interesting point

Uk schools dont teach American History, well i dont think they do, as i was never taught anything like that when i was at school, and i dont think they do it today either, if they were at University they could probably Learn it there in some way or form, But UK Schools dont teach it as standard.

As long as the UK was in the war it is counted as UK history i think that they don't teach it because they lost even though they had the most powerful army in the world at that time but maybe there is another reason.

most wealthy, rich and advanced country in the world.
