US history curriculum really doesn’t spend much time talking about wars (most of it is spend talking about exceedingly boring stuff, first nations cultures and sociopolitical movements like the civil rights and the vietnam protest movement and cold war and such), but we for sure learn about Yorktown & at least some about Gen. Lafayette.

American exceptionalism at work. Decades of being lead to believe they are the solver of the world’s problems and the centre of the “free” world. I’d also many don’t even know that the French were involved because US education is very good at altering history to make them look superior.
