You have what I consider a very distorted view of early American history. Of course you feel I have the distorted view.
I am not going to change my view and neither are you.
While I understand our history has numerous areas where this nation was far less than admirable I firmly believe had we not broke away from the British and formed our own nation this world would be worse off. We would likely be speaking German today.
Actually, if we hadn't broken off, we'd be Canadians today. Which means we'd have universal health care and we could have ended slavery without a fight. It's also probable that we never would have fought a war of aggression with Mexico.
I don’t imagine the racial minorities in this nation would be as happy living in the thousand year rule of the third Reich.
Um, except would there be a Third Reich in such an alternate history.
So here's the short version.
1777 - George Washington and pals end up at the ends of Ropes.
1830- Slavery is banned in the British Empire.
1867 - British North America is organized as a Dominion with self-government (Much like Canada and Australia are today)
1914 - The Dominion of North America joins the Allies in the European War. WIth the additional manpower and industry, the war is brought to a quick end, thereby making the Allies less vindictive towards Germany. The Kaiser stays in power, and Germany continues to progress towards constitutional monarchy. The Tsar is never toppled and Russia progresses towards a constitutional Monarchy.
1930 - A barely known street bum dies of venereal disease in the streets of Munich. His name was Adolf Hitler.
