Damned those French *******s!


What are you talking about.... was Canada planning to invade the U.S.?
Maybe because we have better beer & real football? Or just to have a
place to get away from the Quebecois?

Canada was loyal British held territory.... if you had lost the war of
independence... you may have been annexed by the crown....

Then the French came to your rescue.....

Oh Doug... BTW... Canada did invade the USA... and burned your Whitehouse to
the ground. We didn't like the beer and left.

We were already colonies at that time... or do you mean the American
colonies would have lost what little self-governance they already had?

It's already been pointed out, the French had their own score to settle
and we just piggybacked.

Seems pretty obvious to me that the American colonies would not have
remained subject to English rule for very long anyway. Too stubborn, too
many foreigners, and too much religious resentment against the Church of
England. If Washington and Franklin hadn't managed to slither out from
under, the individual colonies would have required more and more troops
to occupy & pacify... England would have gone bankrupt trying to hold
on. The individual colonies would have declared independence and fought
English troops, and probably each other, and not become a unified
country for another 50 years if then.

Meanwhile, then Napoleon would have held on to the Louisiana
territories, and remained Emperor for another ten years, maybe more,
maybe even established a dynasty. You can play wolrd history as you like
from there.
