A bunch of fat racist rednecks driving SUV's and own 20 guns.
You can hazard a guess of which country I'm talking about.

My schools covered everything from Manifest Destiny and the "White Man's Burden" to pox-infested blankets and the Trail of Tears. We also did cover the war of 1812, albeit not in depth.nin_ninja said:
Though I totally wouldn't be shocked if I was atypical in learning all that.
I'm from a mother's-side family of Central Europeans (German and Polish) and a father's-side of Mexicans but I was born in America. I also have Mexican-style mustache is "haters" are to believed so probably displayed as a cross between a Pancho Villa, Kaiser Wilhelm (First not second) and Jozef Pilsudski. Argh. American melting pot eh?

There are always morons online. Don't judge a population on a few online individuals. I studied that war for quite a while and all the factors leading up to it. British soldiers were still in the colonies long after the battles with the French died down. The soldiers were still here after things went to shit and wouldn't have needed to go far. A few Canadians were involved in the burnings but that was an extremely small number and they weren't directly responsible. It was a bigger statement for the British to burn the building. Canada did not make laws for us to follow. We didn't owe a heinous amount of money to Canada, have pissy underpaid Canadian soldiers among us and Canada wasn't blocking our expansion west.
Most of our skirmishes with Canadians happened more on your turf. A few fights that didn't really amount to much. Mostly though we butted heads with the British. Which makes sense since we didn't really have a bone to pick with Canada anyway. Looking back the American colonists were being stubborn assholes, but hey patriotism was serious business. Far worse than what people whine about today.
Australia.
Well, the country is out to kill you (an exaggeration, but not entirely unfounded).
We have this weird accent that I've never heard an actual Australian speak in.

New Zealand.
No, it's not all trees and grass, it's muddy-yellow hills and urban environments that smell like car fumes.

Scotland
Most people forget Scotland is an actual place and not some mythical country timelocked in the 13th century. Those that know it actually exists and resides comfortably in the present think we're all drunks.
Which isn't too far from the truth.
