So now there are 55 US states.
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Wight. They adopt the dollar and US law/consitution and are American citizens. Immigration between the nations is now as easy as moving to another state. Etc Etc. How do you react? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, to Brits, the Revolutionary War isn't nearly as significant to them as it is to us Americans. I mean unless they're history buffs, it's possible they might not even know what it was.
It's just another event in their history from 300 years ago, but to us, it's the start of our country and a huge thing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think everyone wants to be an American. I think most people want to be whoever they actually are. I don't know where you get that. Why should it be important? America is far from the only only place that rebelled and/or Britain gave up on. And even at the time, was far more important things occurring at our doorstep that had greater impact. --- ...

It wasn't even the biggest war Britain was fighting at the time, historically isn't very interesting and was long before the height of the empire so it'snot of particular significance considering how many colonies Britain actually had. As for America becoming powerful, that actually does get studied in detail as America 1930-1990 is major part of the history syllabus studied by 15/16 year olds.
