Well, I think by now, we would have been free anyway. I mean, by now, the sun definitely sets on the Union Jack, and most of the other places were able to do it with diplomacy. Even the English citizens are now citizens and no longer subjects.
But who knows, maybe if we never won our freedom, maybe England would have been able to do the whole manifest destiny thing here and then capitalized on all the rich resources here ...but wait. ..would France have ever sold their portion of the Americas to England at such a cheap price? I think not.
I think if there never was an American Revolution, England would've still had their small stake, which would have likely been taken by Germany when Germany would've invaded from their stronghold in Louisiana that would have been afforded to them after they invaded France and all the resources that were supplied to England during WWII would actually be going to Germay. Yikes!
It's possible that the sun would never shine on the Union Jack ever again after 1940 if we hadn't revolted in 1876 edit: 1776🤭

@Jayciedubb Good analysis.
It seems you know your history :)

@Nimbus vaguely. ..and i question the bit i do know. Like, for example, our "Civil" War. Sometimes I wonder if it was really a proxy war between England and France. That whole Mason Dixon line seemed awfully convenient. Nowhere else are the state lines so common, north, south, east or west.
They say it's named after the two gentlemen who laid it out, but that sounds a bit strange to me. That's a major boundary line that separated two totally different ideologies.
They call the south the land of Dixie. ..and i know the founding fathers were all a bunch of Masons. Maybe it was a war between the Masons and the Dixons and the Masons won? 🤔
