Sons of Liberty

The latest binge watching we are doing right now is Sons of Liberty.  It's all about how the United States of America was formed and how we separated from England.  Of course, the English are all betrayed as evil and we are all heroes. 

There are always two sides to each story.

I wonder how the English teach their students about the American Revolution?  What's their viewpoint?  I'm no history expert, but from my limited knowledge there were some missteps on the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts that were amended, but the colonists did not get the news before violence went past the tipping point. 

Are we better off separated from England?  I really wonder sometimes.
