What if, instead of resorting violent revolution, the colonials manage to hammer out a deal with the British government? For example, an MP for each of the thirteen colonies? Or a separate, supernational colonial parliament (i.e. imperial confederation from the beginning)? What would the effects be for Britain and the rest of the empire? If the latter course is taken, would that have provided a solution to the Irish question a century before Parnell?

In short, is it feasible and what would it result in?
