Yeah maybe that’s the case. In the UK kids are taught about how how brutal our history was because it’s an important part of our heritage having been conquered multiple times and each time the culture of those invaders being incorporated into our own. One could argue that Americans have more of a reason to underplay their barbaric past because they’re a much younger culture who were the invaders.

Not that I’m saying us Brits are without blame given we had the largest global empire in the history of this planet. And sadly we have a tendency to brush over some of our misnomers during that period too.
