So much anger. I'm sorry if being from Texas influences my sarcasm antenna (?). You might try using the sarcasm avatar to halt any future misunderstandings. I'm sorry if I offended you "wanker" (did I spell that one correctly?). The urban dictionary was just one of many references I could have used with this particular spelling. I'm sorry I didnt research slang in the Oxford dictionary. I promise you there are numerous slang words used in Texas that you would not spell correctly and I also pledge I wouldnt be an ass about it. As for the stick up the ass reference I was joking but I think i was on the mark evidently. LOL.
Lol, get over it, you were wrong deal with it like an adult. 'Bollocks' might (as in probably never) be spelt 'Bollucks' pheonetically by someone who had the fakest english accent in the world, but it has never been spelt differently than 'bollocks' by anyone who uses proper english and by proper english, I mean even 10p tabloids spell it that way. It would appear that you are the only one with a stick up their 'arse'.
In America the natives would have kept most of the US as the frontiers would have stayed where they are, the slave trade and segregation there would also have ended sooner.

I wonder if there would still be a wild west? And would Buffalo Bill have been known as Buffalo William?
Texas and most of the Southwest would still belong to Mexico or maybe even Spain. So we'd be speaking Spanish around here and the wild west would probably still be pretty wild, courtesy of drug cartels. :P
I guess Edmonton or Calgary will soon become huge multicultural city also, they need so many workers there, they have to rely on immigration, which will be good for the future of this province, i think.
well they are sending out the portuguese who have been here for 20 years.
They are evicting them? Why? A link please.

Or maybe, drugs would be legal in this parallel universe/Spain/Mexico Wild West? So the cartels would be slightly different no doubt.
Another thing, Cricket would be more popular in the US....
Just the fact that we would be watching cricket and soccer instead of football is reason enough to be thankful for what those brave patriots and revolutionaries pulled off in 1776.
Also, entertainment would be vastly differnent if the BBC is any indication of the level of quality you brits are capable of.

What would the U.S be like today if it hadn't gained independence from the British??

wow things would be different for sure, during WWII when Germany was sending buzz bombs and rockets to England I believe the US helped in a big way to end that, we'd have to wonder what would England, the US and germany be like today(not to mention borders) during those days (as today) many countrys deponded on each other to survive world war.
just the thought of what would be is mind boggling,the effects would go beyond the US today.

Some nice depth in that thought. The Potentiality and Actuality of what 'if'
We should probably start at searching for the things that would still be the same, so constants throughout history. Greed probably is a major issue, as the potentials coming from a persons green can reach quite far, far beyond ones own capacity to handle that abundance we 'want' so desperately and greed has been a major factor in negative actions by empires/governments/people
Would our ability to handle difficult situations be different? Would we be running after the same things we are now?
What is the cause for most of the current/major issues facing the world now? If you take the current dominant force in the world (USA) now out of the equation, how different would the landscape be?
Texas and most of the Southwest would still belong to Mexico or maybe even Spain. So we'd be speaking Spanish around here and the wild west would probably still be pretty wild, courtesy of drug cartels. :P

1) The course of the Napoleonic Wars would flowed quite differently. With no U.S. to purchase the Louisiana Territory, Napoleon would lose a big chunk of the money he used to wage war across Europe. These wars would have been the first world war as the British New World colonies had a go at the French New World colonies here on this side of the pond. The conflict would have greater ramifications here in the New World, if Napoleon conquered Spain in this re-imagined setting. That is due to the Spanish holdings in the Americas joining the fight on the French side. How this issue works out is the key to the future of the continent under continued British rule.
2) Slavery would be the next question facing these colonies and the Motherland. Would Great Britain be as quick on the draw to end the slave trade with the American colonies as a piece of the Empire? The American South was under-developed and under-populated at this time, in comparison to the eastern seaboard. Without the slaves and their labor, very little money was to be made from the region at that time. Would this region see a greater influx of settlers if the Crown held onto the colonies? Would such an increase of citizens also meant an increase in industry and less reliance on agriculture?
3) As to the native issue, is Great Britain's record on this any better than what occurred in the U.S.? The march of white dudes across the continent would have occurred regardless of what flag was flying over the colonies. There was simply too much money to be made just from the natural resources of the American continent not to have Europeans plundering it. In the case of the natives in the U.S. South, they would have stood in the way of the exploitation of the long-leaf pines that covered the region at the very least. Long-leaf pines were the perfect trees to feed the Empire's unending lust for naval stores....pitch, turpentine e.g.
4) The Mexico question is a hard one figure as it changed hands between France and Spain during its history. The victor in the re-imagined Napoleonic Wars would probably be the sovereign of Mexico.
5) Conflict between Tsarist Russia and Great Britain? The U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia....would Great Britain spring for the "Final Frontier" or would there have been martial issues between the empires? Russia once held the Pacific coastline down to modern-day Oregon.

I wonder if there would still be a wild west? And would Buffalo Bill have been known as Buffalo William?
A lot of the energy that made the Wild West wild was a result of the Civil War.....a lot of soldiers with no homes to return to....a bunch of firearms readily available....a bit of anger bouncing around in the zeitgeist...half of the nation in ruin.....then again, one would have to wonder what nation owned the bulk of the west in our new world...does France keep the British from going west of the Mississippi? Does Spain maintain an imperial presence with Mexico, which included California and Texas?
The U.S. transcontinental railroad was not built until the 1860-70s.....it was the mechanism that opened the Great Plains, Colorado, Nevada and parts of Arizona. It added a major element of the wild in Wild West as it carried saloons, brothels and gambling dens along with it in its westward movement. That's where the phrase "hell on wheels" had its birth. If Canada and the current U.S. belonged to one master, where would a transcontinental rail network begin....where would it run? Would it be possible to build it if Britain did not own the bulk of the continent? This also raises the question of aboriginal relations. Would British leadership find a better way to handle the relationship?

oooops...I meant Toronto! Its supposed to be the most multicultural city on earth.....or so I'm told.
It certainly is. I don't know if you took a head count that it would be but if you had a birds eye view of the city, with coloured lines separating the nieghbourhoods, i.e. Little Italy, Greek Town, China Town, etc., you would have a mirrored image of Europe to Asia. The Russians, the Jewish, natives, the Koreans etc., etc., all have community based neighbourhoods (sections of the city in which they dwell) which welcome everyone with open arms. Just don't fuck around and you're good. Torontonians don't like much bullshit/Nonsense.
Brilliant in my opinion.
There is a homeless problem though and it is noticeable especially in the business district. Ironic, eh ?

Probably not.....there was not a united Germany till after the American Civil War.....1870s....the key, once again, is the Napoleonic Wars....without the US to help fund the French war machine, what does Europe look like in 1815? Does an influx of American troops help bottle-up Napoleon early in the game? Do the German states unite minus the "Blood & Iron"? Does Spain remain a player post-Napoleon? Does Germany get to express her Imperial status with additional colonies in Africa due to the British mandate to protect North America and India (Instead of just India being the colonial crown jewel?)?
