In college I was privy to a private debate between two of my professors. All
I wanted was to get a form signed but ended up in their office, hearing this
impromptu deliberation (they very nearly came to blows) about whether the
U.S. would have been better off had the Revolution not occurred.
Thanks for the suggestion too, I'll look for the book.

See if you can lay hands on a gorgeous little book: Cammager,

an eighteenth-century controversy" Harper & Row. Library of
COngress Cat card 67-21563

From the viewpoint of Europe, a mistake it was indeed!!!! And
there was very hasty revision, much good it did the Bourbons.
