Comment on "Thank you For Your Service"... During the Revolutionary War!
wieson@lemmy.world 1 year agoYes, it would be different but not necessarily better. There is no moral value in the US owning that land. If it was owned by Spain, or maybe have many different independence movements and be owned by native peoples, would it be worse?
The Great plains would also still exist (as would Louisiana and Florida)??? They don’t vanish if someone else governs them.

No, don’t get me wrong, it would have been better for the world and the people who inhabited the land, just that not for Americans, which probably wouldn’t even have become as powerful as it is
