to quote Thomas Day: "If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature, it is an American patriot, signing resolutions of independency with the one hand, and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves"

too many variablesweezyfb

I agree. Way too many variables.

You have to remember, at the time, everyone was still "pretty-much-European". It's like asking an American now if he'd turn on his President.

I'm Canadian, and you guys got a real bad rap for 1812. British for me, if we're rewriting history.

Hehe, hence my sarcasm.

It was the way to dress at the time for Royalty, but you'd have to get me very drunk to wear that.

I'm a rebel.8)

Holding my place of birth and current political mindset constant, I'd side with the yanks.

Native Americans obviously.mrmusicman247

i think the native americans sided with the British

Neither of them? I would side with myself. It's the best side be on.

Britain, George Washington actually started the 7years war between Britain and France that cost Britain so much money and led to Britain having to increase the tax on the colonies and the rest they say is history.

Rebels, of course...a federal constitutional republic resulted, which is a far cry better than what the people were under at the time, which was a cruel monarchy.:)

lol why do americans think england lives under an all powerful king or something? ever heard of the English civil war? it happened like 140 years before the American revolution. the Monarch had little power in Britain or the colonies. The picture of King George as a mad tyrant is a myth. the Colonists were angry at the parliament, the king was just a figurehead.

I'm American, I'm going to side with the rebels. If the reverse happened, who knows? I might not exist.

I'd side with the rebels. European monarchy had to end anyway.

Whoever is giving me a free ipad.

The Rebels. That way, in the Battle of LitteBigfoot when all hope was lost and Stalin was mere moments away from global domination I could be part of the resistance that was able to fire a single proton torpedo into the exhaust vent of the Lusitania.

I'd serve alongside Mel Gibson in the Revolutionary War.

The british of course, i'm a very patriotic guy ;)Nercay

If not for the rebels, then WW1 and WW2 would have ended for the worse for Britain.:)

Heh, I'm not so sure I agree with all of that. It's at least possible that we should have stayed out of WWI altogether, preventing an overwhelming loss for Germany, and perhaps not setting them up for failure to a level that would call for a dictator a few decades later to save them.

If that pans out (not saying it's a surety), then WWII wouldn't have happened, at least not due to the same dynamic.

Hindsight is 20/20 though.
