    Big jump in logic here. The decay of the British empire wouldn’t even be a thing if the crown held the states. As long as we’re playing pretend I’d say it would have ended up worse for everyone.

      Lol. Why not pretend the Byzantine Empire would still exist if they had North America? I was talking about a much tighter period of time, roughly 50 years. Canada was essentially self governing by the late 1800s.
