@Brianthesnail Yes,that just might cause problems :)

@Elessar 😄

@TheRascallyOne i love Texas. itwould be my third choice of state to live in.

@TheRascallyOne a Texan ? 👍🏻

@jackjjackson oh we had some once. A dang hurricane ate it !

@TexChik Is that a good thing? :)

@Nimbus nope. 😉

Bourbon sipping of course 🤠 🥃 @TexChik

@Harmonium1923 Possibly.

@Nimbus by Nathaniel Hawthorne

@Nimbus It has become a euphemism for stigma or reputation. The Puritans used to make adulteresses wear a big red A on their blouses.

@puck61 I never knew that.

@AbbeyRhode That's interesting.
Which country? :)

@Nimbus Luxembourg? 🤔😏

@Nimbus Good question. Mexico or Canada are obvious, or maybe Spain. They funded Columbus's original trip. Could have been any country, really.

@Nimbus Yes he really did say the revolutionary army captured airfields from the British - which is pretty clever as the aeroplane hadn’t been invented at the time 😂😂

@MissTaken Oh yea, I remember now :)

@MissTaken 🤭

@cherokeepatti Would that be a good or bad thing?

@Nimbus not good if we didn’t support the royal family. And I don’t

@cherokeepatti You're not alone in that respect.

@SmellyBot lol,

@soar2newhighs 😯

@jackjjackson lol,

@jackjjackson do not forget the stiff upper lip too 😆

About the only thing stiff about those inbreds. @smiler2012

@tindrummer 😛

@QuixoticSoul 😛

@jackjjackson lol,

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Did they fight wars ? to keep their independence ?

@MarmeeMarch Eventually yes. But if the 13 colonies lost there is no reason why the name of the territory would have changed at the time.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow 😛

@chrisCA lol, good one.

@Nyloncapes They're missing so much, lol.

@FreestyleArt Down with the EU! :)

@Really lol,

@Thodsis 😄

@smiler2012 Maybe proper football too ;)

@Nimbus had it been invented then nimby i wonder 🤫

@OzDiver Well that's gotta be a good thing surely?

@Nimbus Yep 👍

@JoyfulSilence Possibly :)

That would also mean the current southwest US would have likely remained part of Mexico. Heck, the Great Plains might still be part of France. And Alaska would be Russian.

There would have been gradual abolition of slavery, perhaps, and no Civil War. And maybe the two world wars would never have happened due to the might of the Commonwealth, with all those American resources and industries. Britain had to wait a few years to tap into it, in the real world.

@Dolimyte 😯

@Darksideinthenight2 [quote]exactly my point if there wasnt an American then those wars still would had happened[/quote]
How was that exactly your point when you were wondering "if ww1 and ww2 would had happen still"?

[quote] the out come would had been very different[/quote]
Probably not, tbh

@Darksideinthenight2 👍

@MarmeeMarch 🍻

@MarmeeMarch That would be terrible!

@swirlie Good point.
