At least they acknowledge we don’t know where America would be if it was not for the revolution.
At least they acknowledge we don’t know where America would be if it was not for the revolution. One contributing factor that allowed for independence was the fact that Great Britain could not replenish its troops fast enough. The advancement in technology might have allowed them to win the war, we might be still living under British rule and Canada certainly would have never gained independence.
By 1804 all the northern states had abolished slavery and in 1862 the emancipation proclamation was signed. Slavery was abolished on the Island of Britain but serfdom was still running rampant through the empire. If British loyalist and slaves didn’t fight for the “British cause”, the Revolutionary War might have ended quickly and speed up the timeline of the American abolishment of slavery.
Has America done anything right? What about World War I or II? It’s just sad people hate their county so much. I’m confused why people who hate America don’t leave. The last section of this article is the most telling, a call for only majority rule and a monarch.

This July 4, let's not mince words: American independence in 1776 was a monumental mistake. We should be mourning the fact that we left the United Kingdom, not cheering it.
We obviously can't be entirely sure how America would have fared if it had stayed in the British Empire longer, perhaps gaining independence a century or so later, along with Canada.
But I'm reasonably confident a world in which the revolution never happened would be better than the one we live in now, for three main reasons: Slavery would've been abolished earlier, American Indians would've faced rampant persecution but not the outright ethnic cleansing Andrew Jackson and other American leaders perpetrated, and America would have a parliamentary system of government that makes policymaking easier and lessens the risk of democratic collapse.
It's true that had the US stayed, Britain would have had much more to gain from the continuance of slavery than it did without America. It controlled a number of dependencies with slave economies — notably Jamaica and other islands in the West Indies
In 1775, after the war had begun in Massachusetts, the Earl of Dunmore, then governor of Virginia, offered the slaves of rebels freedom if they came and fought for the British cause
America would have a better system of government if we'd stuck with Britain
we would've, in all likelihood, become a parliamentary democracy rather than a presidential one.
And parliamentary democracies are a lot, lot better than presidential ones.
The US is saddled with a Senate that gives Wyoming the same power as California, which has more than 66 times as many people. Worse, the Senate is equal in power to the lower, more representative house.
Finally, we'd still likely be a monarchy, under the rule of Elizabeth II, and constitutional monarchy is the best system of government known to man.
And monarchs are better.
