If America remains British, can Britain rule the world?

It's

Banned
I would say that's borderline ASB for a few reasons (manpower mostly) but stranger things have happened so...

I'll pick on the parliament thing. If the US gets an independant parliament, it doesn't mean they won't get independant. Look at Eire/Ireland and Scotland: the Parliament is often the first step to Independance

Look at Canada, Australia and new Zealand. All independant. Surely they are better parallels for America than Scotland and Ireland, which are part of the British isles. Don't confuse England with Britain.
 
I recall that I have an Alt History Anthology somewhere about this very thing. Britain backed off on colonies and effectively gave America Dominion status. They abolished slavery in 1830's in the American south along with the rest of the British Empire.

They eventually took much of the Spanish Empire, then China.

The short story takes place in the Crimean War where there are those seriously considering making Victoria Czarina of Russia.

Robert E. Lee is an American cavalry Colonel who effectively leads a light Brigade of southern cavalry against the Russians.

Ah, The Charge of Lee's Brigade by SM Stirling in The Alternate Generals anthology.
With what appears to be a Guest Staring Harry Flashman.
