A Question for Brits...

Sorry, can't keep my pie hole shut because this is an interesting "what if" historical question.

I suspect we'd be part of Canada right now.

Just speculation but the reason we're separate countries is they remained loyal to Britain during that war. Sooner or later, colonies break off from the mother country once they've reached a threshold in population and self-sufficiency, not unlike children growing up and leaving the house. Sometimes it happens violently and sometimes it happens piecemeal and peacefully but sooner or later it happens.

Anyone more familiar with history want to comment?
