I took an AP US history class, and, yep, we completely skipped all of the Indian war details. Oh, and we skipped the repeated invasions of Canada in the Revolutionary and 1812 War discussions too.

As far as British history goes, they (looking at history modules from Oxford/Cambridge) seem to elide Hanoverian England. Yes, the UK has a longer history than the US, but that was a formative period and not just for the industrial revolution.
