We are celebrating our independence from Great Britain because we were being over taxed by the British government. Okay the federal tax rate in Britain is 32% and in America and 27% in the U.S. However, the British have excellent public transportation and public Health Care. The country is immaculately kept up. The murder rate in Great Britain is 1.6 per hundred thousand, 5.9 in the U.S.
The Civil War might not have occurred because the British abolished slavery in 1807. And certainly blacks would not have had to wait until the 1960s to gain their civil rights. The policy of exterminated the Indians might have been avoided. The Romantic Movement had begun to emerge in England toward the end of the 18th century. With it came a greater respect for native peoples, especially the noble savages of North America, and for nature. Perhaps the slaughter of wildlife such as the bison might have been greatly reduced. We all know the English have a great love for nature. America never had a Romantic Movement. It was all business. It’s attitude toward destroying the Indians and wildlife was that of the Mafia: nothing personal, just business. The Westward Movement was an uncivilized and often inhumane free-for-all grab fest. Had Great Britain been in charge the process of settling the country might have been more civilized and more humane because Great Britain was already a great civilized nation, and thus might have given some order and restraint to the conquering of North America.
The United States of Great Britain would not have gotten involved in a war in Vietnam because Britain was at that time retreating from its colonies. I doubt if the 9-11 attacks would have occurred because evangelicals and Zionists would not have taken control of foreign policy. I doubt the United State of Great Britain would have almost 40% of the world Jews. Thus the Jewish corruption of Hollywood, Wall Street, and Washington D.C. would have been avoided. I doubt we would have been involved in two wars for the past 8 to 10 years. Maybe we wouldn’t have a 14 trillion dollar federal debt. And maybe I wouldn’t be living in a barrio because the U.S.G.B. government would have protected the borders.
Or maybe things would have turned out just as bad, but they couldn’t have turned out any worse. In fact, had Americans not achieved independence from Great Britain the U.S. today might be a lot like Canada—you know civilized.
