Alright folks, 5 days only for this poll, 5 days -
How early would you need to change American colonial history to guarantee an Anglo-American sovereign relationship close as Anglo-Canadian in 1883?
Or to phrase it differently:
How early must (the situation of)13 Colonies change to guarantee that in 1883 they are still close as Canada? (to Britain)
The purpose of this is for consecutive polling to derive a general consensus position on a reasonable/plausible accepted scenario for what we know as the US and UK to still have a sovereign relationship as close as what the UK and Canada had in 1883, in an alternate 1883, one century after their real-world divorce settlement.
If, among the multiple choices, there is *no way* from that point in time, the 13 Colonies/pre-USA could have stayed together that close, that long, *do not* vote for it But, if you think that in any of the time frames listed in the multiple choices, the two could have held together for a century or more, you may vote for it. Certainly make sure to vote for what you think is latest scenario that would have reasonably allowed the two to stick together long haul. (I'm not sure if I am offering one choice per voter, or multiple. If multiple, feel free to vote for the *latest* possible time for reconciliation/unity, and any earlier times.
How will I use this poll's results?
I will use this as the basis for poll and discussion on predictions for the life of a more prolonged "British America". And I will define how America stayed British, by eliminating wjhat appears as the *least popular*/*least believable* /*least supported* options from the poll.
Happy to answer any clarifying questions, but I don't plan to get into prolonged discussion of the substantive question before moving on to the next issue within this issue.
