From Wikipedia

In 1948, during the last days of the Dominion of Newfoundland (at the time a dominion-dependency in the Commonwealth and independent of Canada), there was mainstream support, although not majority, for Newfoundland to join the United States, thanks to the efforts of the Economic Union Party and significant U.S. investment in Newfoundland stemming from the U.S.-British alliance in World War II. In the 1948 Newfoundland referendums, the economic unionists backed an independent Newfoundland that would later join with the United States, but could not gain a majority; the runoff vote produced a majority to confederate with Canada.

So, what if the Dominion of Newfoundland had become independent and later joined the United States? What differences would the State of Newfoundland have made to history, if any?
