It’s also funny how the American Revolution and its impact on Canada is often glossed over in Canadian schools.
We spent more time on the Seven Years War and the War of 1812 than the American Revolution.

  @atomicpoet Why would they? It’s not their history or central to their national mythology. States don’t spend much time on the Mexican Revolution. Texas touches on it, but only in relation to Texas.  @atomicpoet In Ontario, we didn't get one word on the War of 1812. To your point, we also didn't get a single word about the American Revolution either. We covered the Seven Years War in what... five, maybe six different grade levels? @atomicpoet Socialist/Communist/Secular Humanist/Frenchlike Monarchy. Fixed it for you! |
@atomicpoet The only real parts of the US Revolution I remember on the curriculum in Nova Scotia was with respect to the United Empire Loyalists coming to what is now Canada, but even that was treated very superficially. And certainly no mention of the Battle of Quebec.
