I'd like to start this WI with an OTL explanation. When I was a child, the schools I went to taught American history in a disjointed way. We learned about the American Revolution and the War of 1812, but no mention was ever made that UK/US relations ever healed. For several years I actually believed that the British were still mad at America over 1776 and that they seethed at our freedom every 4th of July. It wasn't until I took an interest in contemporary politics that I figured out via the news media that that wasn't true.

Obviously, then, the WI of the day is: What if the British stayed permanently mad at America for its successful Revolution against their rule? I can just hear Queen Elizabeth II giving a speech: "Mad at America now, mad at America forever!"
