When I was at school in the UK, the War of Independence and the creation of the United States was taught from the perspective of slavery and the loss of the British Colonies in America, as well as the impact that the U.S. Constitution had on republicanism and anti-Monarchism.
We didn’t go into very much detail, though. It wasn’t until years later that I learned really anything about Founding Fathers (aside from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson) and the Paul Reveres, etc.
