Why would g3nyy's teacher have talked about The Constitution,
written by a bunch of previous rebel Enemies of the Crown?
Exactly!

I don't think it's so much that; it's more that American history is
just too short to be worth teaching (certainly by European standards).

I think I see your point: America defeats Britain in the Revolutionary
War. America defeats Britain in the War of 1812. America pulls
Britain's fat from the fire in WWI. America pulls Britain's fat from
the fire in WWII.

Post WWII finds the British Empire in eclipse. Six out for twenty-two
overs, Toad-in-a-hole and Bob's your uncle. Is that about it?
