And is the mood about the war similar or different? Here in America we are proud about winning the war. What about people in present day Britain? Do they pretty much acknowledge they got their butts handed to them, or are they taught a different version of history?
America should be proud as it gave birth to your nation. We in Britain accept that we lost but as /u/Ydrahs says in not so many words we had other interests at the time. In the UK, the American revolution isn't really discussed until one chooses to study History at A-level (16 - 18 years old) if they choose to study it at all. If/When we are taught about it (depending on which exam board we still A-level History with & what modules we study) We look at all angles of the causes, effects & consequences of the war (e.g. we acknowledge the role the 1773 Tea Act (passed by Prime minister Lord Frederick North) had in starting the Boston Tea Party or the role we played once we were defeated etc). As I'm no expert on this topic (even though I am British I can't talk about British historians views on the war) I'm going to ping /u/smileyman, /u/TRB1783 & /u/zuzahin who should be able to talk about British historiography on the war.
If you like to see how the war is taught in the UK by teachers, I suggest looking at Farmer. A's (2015); Access to History: The American Revolution and the Birth of the USA 1740-1801 Second Edition which is one of many textbooks used in A-Level History courses to teach the topic.
