Ooo, we have a live one here! Shouldn't he have a cup of cocoa and PJs?
He envisions a utopian Royal America complete with a coexist policy towards the American Indians, early abolition of slavery and a Parliamentary government. Talk about cherry-picking and contra-factual perspective, he appears to forget what 1770s Britain was about.
Prior to the Napoleonic Wars, this was close to the recent height of the British Aristocracy and much of them wanted lands and titles for "younger sons" in America. With the push to turn the 13 Colonies from proprietorships into Royal Colonies, their ability to force such privileges here would have been made easy.
Also missing from this idiocy is any matching of behavior that historical Britain had towards Ireland, India and the later African colonies. Princely chaps and behavior, don't you know!
I could go MUCH FURTHER but what is the point? Let this fool dream of the Union Jack, wrapped around his neck!
Yeah, I am sure that without the American Revolution example, that Ghandi would have been able to still liberate India....
and all the other colonial powers that liberated themselves and specifically CITED the US as their example....
Spain would still be running south america, and france would still be running large parts of notre america....
What an idiot... This moron is an exacting example of WHY y “Progressives” are nothing more than “Neo-Fuedalists”
Interesting yet nothing but conjecture based on hopes and wishes.
Firstly, Slavery was an African institution created by chronically warring Black Tribes, during the 5th century, when they decided that there was a buck to be made in selling prisoners rather than killing them; along w/Arab Corsairs as their taxi drivers. Britain and the Colonies came on the scene some 1300 years later. Cold reality!
As for our American Indians; how Britain treated the Hindus and Muslims of the Raj; previewed how they would have behaved here.
The last point about Parliamentary Governance has substance. The concept ‘no confidence’ forcing out a government is powerful as we’ve just seen and Merkel in Germany is about to experience. It would have spared us 16 interminable years of Bush the Buffoon followed by our current Schmuck-in-Chief.
