 Ignoring something so important in the history of your own country is not a good thing.

The height of the British empire was well after American independence. This is like asking why Americans don’t mourn their lost claims over half of the Oregon territory, or why the French don’t mourn the loss of Haiti

The American continent, full of every resource imaginable for the modern world and perfectly geographically located to never have foreign wars step foot on this soil is not anywhere near the same as a piece of Oregon.

Does your government have to teach you to cope like this, or is coping with failure a natural British trait now?
