        Honestly, I know you’re probably just joking, but there are several times in recent memory where I’ve wished that you guys won that one.

          That’s my secret, Captain, I’m always joking.

          And hungry.

          But mostly joking.

          It might honestly have stopped Manifest Destiny.

          That, or the increased manpower reserve of America would have let Britain conquer literally the entire world instead of just the parts with spices, and the pressure from Southern states would have kept Britain from outlawing slavery in the Empire.
