WI: Britain crushes the American Revolution but later loses to Napoleon?

The Revolution was because Georgie 3 oppressed us even beyond the normal.

Actually George III had very little to do with it, if anything it was Parliament that 'oppressed' you.
And the last time someone opposed the sovereignity of Parliament he ended up with his head cut off.
 
Well, lets look at this way. The American Revolution was supported by the French, who sent massive amounts of troops to America, and fought alongside American troops. The American Spirit in the ideas and values that were being fought for were to be picked up by the French, most notably the Marquis de Lafayette. The American Revolution heavily impacted on the French Revolution as the French had spent vast amounts of money on funding the Americans and also supporting their own efforts in the war. If the American Revolution was crushed, then the French economy wouldn't have faltered as much, the American Spirit wouldn't have spread to France, the Revolution could not have begun in the space that it did.
i think you get your timetable wrong, quite a few of these 'american spirit' ideas did originate from the united provinces (the us even copied the UP declaration of independence, and also took inspiration from other things from them. And the UP also fought the british). before all this happened the UP had a failed revolutions where patriots tried to overthrow the orangist faction, the ppatriots after this fled to france (many of them being rather wealthy) and taking their revolutionary republican ideas with them, spreading them to france. the seeds of revolution were already sown at least a decade before the american tax war. if france supports the americn rebels, but they fail, the french will still have a lot of debts, and nothing to show for it. the fall will be even harder.
