1. Most UK citizens won't even know what the American Revolution is. That's not because we are uniformed, it's because we call it something else - the American War of Independence.
2. We don't have any strong feelings about it - it's just a historical fact.
3. Most UK citizens don't even know what a relatively small area it actually was - they don't know that only 13 colonies/states were involved, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to name them.
4. We voluntarily granted independence to much larger territories, and with many more inhabitants. So no-one here is still harbouring a grudge. lol
