Well true if British colonialism didn't happen there wouldn't be an America, and I wouldn't exist either for that matter. However, the colonists didn't always adhere to their own ideals. I could talk about this for a while as it is a topics I'm fascinated with. All in all it was good, but America is letting the people participate more in their own destiny, not something England was really good at doing, in Africa or Rudyard Kipling's India.
