It is difficult to predict with any certainty. One must assume that at some time between a failed attempt at revolution and now, that another effort would have been made, and another, and another, until success had been achieved. However, it is not beyond the imagination to assume that the United States could have existed as an English Commonwealth well into the 20th Century much like our neighbor to the North, Canada did.

∙ 16y agoNew England would be much larger, if not dominating the entire US. Would the Brits have been as willing to allow "foreigners" to reside in their country, for example Norwegians and Germans to live in their country. My guess is yes, at some point there would have been a conversion to something like the EU. But the English would have maintained their dominance over other nationalities, much like the white man is exerting dominance over other races in today's West.

∙ 12y agoI think (in my opinion) what would have happened if the US lost the American revolution:
The british would have increased the taxation on the colonists.
They would control the American government.
And if the British would have control over the American government the purpose of the "sons of liberty"would be no more which was to establish independence in the colonies.

What would a boycott of British goods probably have had at the time of the American Revolution?
Before American gained its independence, it was a colony of Great Britain and Great Britain's policy is that their colonies can only trade with them and no other nation. So, when the American Revolution started and a boycott was started, then U.S. would have to rely on themselves for resources or see if any other nations are willing to trade with them.

What would happen if you were caught being a spy in the American Revolution War?
If you were a spy during the American Revolution and you were caught, one of two things would happen. You would be tried and found guilty, and then sentenced to hang.

Why is the American revolution important in history?
The American Revolution is significant in the history of America. From 1763 to 1783, Americans declared their independence, waged a war of liberation, transformed the colonies into states, and created a new nation. The American Revolution was important because it separated England from the colonies. The colonies decided to separate from Britain because the parliament was taking away the rights of the colonists including and they broke the social contract binding them together.
What is so revolutionary about the American Revolution War?
The definition of revolution is to throw over a current government and replace it with a new one. A revolution is usally ignited if the governed feel a lack of freedom or a violation of their human rights. In the American revolution though, economics, I think, was the biggest factor. The American Revolution only started because of actions by Great Britain like the Stamp Act or Tea Tax. The colonists of course dissagreed with this ("No Taxation without Representation"). That is why the American Revolution was ignited. Otherwise, if England would not have been so focused on making the best profit themselves (the idea mercantalism plays a major role here too), the colonists would have been happy and satisfied with the way it was.
Do you think the American Revolution would have occurred if Britain had not taxed the colonies?
Given adequate time, other issues would have arisen.

The importance of studying the American Revolution lies in not repeating the mistakes of the past. Citizens need to be vigilant, so that the government does not tread on the freedoms of the people as in the years preceding the revolution.
