Every other members of the Commonwealth has. We would've been no different.

Imagine the ballots

The conservative party of America

The Liberal Democratic Party of America

American Labour Party

But would we have gone as far west as we did? America might have been stuck with only east of the Mississippi. Which means less elbow room and resources. So that would mean less immigrants. So your family tta might still be in Europe.

And as a British citizen who's also lived in America, I can say with certainty that America is far better. Our healthcare system is at breaking point, the right to self-defense is curtailed, there are a slew of taxes, massive debt to GDP ratio, welfare is too large and we only stopped being a socialist country in the 1980s. It's pretty great here, for European standards, but it's not like America.

We'd have nicer cars, buses, better welfare system (Obamacare v. Britaincare), more sophisticated sounding insults, better comedy and a more than two parties

Cars: HEEECK NO. Ever experienced how reliable a Jaguar or a Mini is? On a quiet night you can hear them break internal engine parts NOT RUNNING.

Buses: I'll give ya that one. I like double deckers, lol

Welfare: I disagree with welfare, so what exactly would be better about it?

Insults: Meh. 'Merica

Comedy: British comedy tends to be very droll, not a fan.

Parties: Well, yea thats kinda nice.

Great! Europe has better politics. I'd have more choice.

Listen, America would not be better off if we were still under British rule.

I and one of the reasons we declared independence was for religious rights. So who know the red coats might have killed Joseph Smith before he made up Mormanism.

You just had to go there, huh? Lol

There would be more monarchy in Europe. The American Revolution inspired nations like France to get rid of their royals.

I doubt so.....

What was their religious policy in 1814-1830

Great liberalism wouldn't have risen.

The reign of terror wouldn't have happened in France.

Here's the thing, what business does a ruler 5000 miles away have taxing people of another independent nation. The protestants left England to form their own nation to escape religious persecution.

It wouldn't technically be independent. It's British controlled territory. So it's their right to tax it. Well they escaped it.

They wouldn't have killed him because if we hadn't rebelled they wouldn't have ever really interfered with American Colonial Government.

It wasn't British territory, it was land controlled by Native Americans and they allowed the pilgrims in.

The British try to claim it, which started the revolution. They created their own colonies, and when England tried to claim it as theirs, that's what lead to war.

Not quite. Learn your history. It was British before that. We rebelled because we didn't like a few taxes going up even though everyone was still fairly well off. Learn how wars start.

TTA the Church of England was against opposing religions because The English Church is ran by the monarch. So the British would not allow mormanism becaise it would not allow the British Monarch to control the peoples spiritual lives.

Albenia wrote:Not quite. Learn your history. It was British before that. We rebelled because we didn't like a few taxes going up even though everyone was still fairly well off. Learn how wars start.

The war started because the King of England was trying to control the colonists from 5000 miles away.

We did not rebel because we had taxes. its because we had no say in Parliament over the taxes.

no taxation without representation.

In 1830? I'm pretty sure religion at that point wasn't monopolized. Remember.

Britain didn't govern the colonies like y'all think they did. They only really interfered when qe started being douches to them over taxes.

The Amarican Empire wrote:We did not rebel because we had taxes. its because we had no say in Parliament over the taxes.

England was trying to control us when we were more than capable of taking care of ourselves. England was trying to control something they thought was their's because the colonists were beneath them.

The Amarican Empire wrote:We did not rebel because we had taxes. its because we had no say in Parliament over the taxes.

Yes. So we rebelled over taxes. Kind if weak reason to rebel. Look at India. They rebelled sort of peacefully and yet thwy had a MUCH better reason dor independence.

They had the pilgrims take out rival native American tribes.

Right-Winged Nation wrote:They had the pilgrims take out rival native American tribes.

No...The pilgrims did that on their own. Britain wantes to be friends with the Indians. Indian rights were violated when America was founded.

we were fine with taxes we just wanted a voice.

We didn't want to be under colonial rule, that is a pretty good reason for independence.

The Amarican Empire wrote:we were fine with taxes we just wanted a voice.

They were setting up taxes.

They didn't govern us in any other way.

Right-Winged Nation wrote:We didn't want to be under colonial rule, that is a pretty good reason for independence.

Not compared to other reasons.

Albenia wrote:No...The pilgrims did that on their own. Britain wantes to be friends with the Indians. Indian rights were violated when America was founded.

No, the native Americans that took them in told the pilgrims that they had a rival tribe and said they needed to take them out.

Oh I thought you meant Britain told them to.

Anyways. I must go so on Victoria 2 I can reinstall Monarchy in America.

On fourth of July, there is a tradition I do. Watch Rocky I-IV, go to grandma's house and have big BBQ, and then light fireworks. For me, the party doesn't stop because my birthday is the next day.

Sounds awesome! But shouldn't it be Rocky I-IV+VI?

So Victoria 2...Britain doesn't like Monarchic America. I made America a Monarchy and Britain led Europe into a war with me right after to "Liberate People of New England"

I don't have Rocky VI, but I need to get it. I appreciate that you didn't mention the other one(shudders in disgusts)

Did anyone else get a warning from the mods? I'm not sure what that was all about

I can not beleive your hatred in such a sovereign. Even the queen pays her share of taxes and takes her time to represent your country and commonwealth.

She doesn't do any work.

Monarchy is just glorified neo-feudalism. Republics are where it's at.

As a New Englander, I approve.

What do you consider new England. Pennsylvania to Maine?

I live in Michigan but the south is the best part of America.

Once upon a midnight dreay

While I pondered weak and weary

O'er many quaint and curious

volume of forgotten lore

While I nodded nearly napping

suddenly there came tapping

As of someone gently rapping

Tapping on my chamber door

'Tis some visitor I muttered

tapping at my chamber door

Merely this and nothing more

Ah distinctly I remember

It was in the bleak December

And each separate dying ember

Wrought its ghost upon the floor

Eagerly I wished the morrow

Vainly had I sought to borrow

From my books surcease of sorrow

Sorrow for the lost Lenore

For the rar and radiant maiden

Whom the angels named Lenore

Nameless here for evermore.

The Raven Edgar Allen Poe,

Seriously man give me a hard one.

Come on Humpy, we are educated.

Hear the sledges with the bells -

Silver bells!

What a world of merriment their melody foretells!

How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,

In the icy air of night!

While the stars that oversprinkle

All the heavens, seem to twinkle

With a crystalline delight;

Keeping time, time, time,

In a sort of Runic rhyme,

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells

From the bells, bells, bells, bells,

Bells, bells, bells -

From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Guy was a genius, the only thing he did wrong was when he married his 13 year old cousin

Go to the grave where friends are laid,

And learn how quickly mortals fade,

Learn how the fairest flower must droop,

Learn how the strongest form must stoop,

Learn that we are but dust and clay,

The short-liv'd creatures of a day.

Yet do not sigh -- there is a clime,

Where they will dwell through endless time,

Who here on earth their Maker serve,

And never from his precepts swerve.

The grave to them is but a road,

That leads them to that blest abode.
