The consensus on this board seems to be that should the American Revolution fail the colonies would likely be given something roughly equivalent to our Dominion status. The issue however is that this doesn't solve the problem of colonial population growth and the colonists' demand for westward expansion at all costs. How does Britain deal with the westward expansion and are they eventually forced to embrace the colonists' expansion as policy? Or do they throw up their hands and grand independence?
It seems to me that the goals of the colonies and Britain don't align no matter how much or little self rule they have.
