What would be different in America? What historical events would be different?

1. The Queen would be on our plastic money.
2. There would probably be 8-10 provinces instead of states.
3. I'm not so sure the French would have sold us the Louisiana Purchase, or it would be French-American province.
4. Slavery may have ended earlier, or the South may have re-tried to secede from the crown in the mid 1800s.
5. We would have national healthcare.
6. The Native Americans would probably control a large piece of land (British wanted OH, MI, & IN to be for the Native Americans during the war of 1812).
7. We wouldn't have the bill of rights or the constitution.
