    Aftermath of a Failed American Revolution

    As it says on the tin. In the aftermath of such an event, how would Britain respond? And would the colonies eventually revolt again? If so, when? And who would the leaders likely be in this Second American Revolution? Thanks fellas.

    DBWI: Franklin didn't defect to the British?

    Benjamin Franklin is, by many, seen as the "first American." However, it seems that, much like close friends to him like Joseph Galloway, Franklin was much more comfortable being with the British as opposed to supporting the American Experiment. So, what would happen if that were different? What...

    America loses the Revolution

    What if, in 1777, the Americans lose the Battle of Saratoga which causes Spain and France not to invest in the fledgling USA as they see it as a waste of time and money, as they think the rebellion could never succeed? I'm thinking that it could cause the French revolution to be pushed back and...

    ...taxation at home though successful lead to disgruntlement and was itself, along with the response to it, a leading cause of the American Revolution.

  11. American Revolution: a mistake?

    I just read an article on Vox claiming that the AR was a mistake. The author cited three main points to back this up. 1. Slavery would have been abolished earlier. 2. Native Americans would have fared better. 3. The UK system of government is more efficient (ignoring Brexit of course). No...

    What effect does the collapse of the United States have on republicanism?

    I’ve seen a lot of discussion about the effect that a failed American Revolution would have on the development of republicanism and liberalism, typically arguing that these ideologies would ultimately be hurt or even delegitimized, but a discussion that I don’t think I’ve ever seen is what would...

    Chapter I By September 1775, the American Revolution had been going on for four months. It was localized mostly in the area around Boston, with battles occurring at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. The only major "battle", if one could call it that, was the seizure of Fort Ticonderoga in...

    Questions about an "Aristocratic" USA

    Ok, so lets say that the US was not allowed to be settled by heretics, and that the king gave out land to aristocrats. Basically, an all Anglican society with English landholders, black slaves, and white tenant craftspeople and servants, where colonial governors are directly appointed by the...

    My apologies if this has been around the block a few times, but what would happen if Quebec joined the American Revolution, perhaps because Benedict Arnold carried a few copies of the Declaration of Independence in French with him? I think the presence of French-speaking delegates to the...
