DBWI: WI America left the British empire

Hello everyone happy confederation day! As you all know today we are celebrating our nations 200th birthday. Who would have thought what started as a protest in Boston would lead to the great country we know and love today. Streching from the fridged north of Nunavut to the souther coasts of Florida, the atlantic coasts of Newfoundland in the east to the pacific coast of California in the west!

Now what if America left the british empire? What if the boston protests spiraled into full blown revolutions?
 
Totally impossible, unless you put an half witted athoritarian dick in charge of Massachusetts at the time. Somebody more concerned with maintain power than running the colony.
If Lieutenant General Thomas Gage had been put in charge of Massachusetts colony as some people wanted he could have started a revolution.
That man started a slave revolt in Jamaica in 1786 and somehow managed to get the plantation owners to take the side of the slaves.But that did lead to the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1801.
