I honestly think that the colonies would still have eventually severed ties with the old country. My reasoning for this is that is that colonists were almost greedily expansive. If I understand my history correctly, the crown forbade westward expansion over the Appalachian Mountains due to the fact that the crown had ceded that land to the natives. I can see it now. Colonists would have wanted to expand over the mountains to feel the hunger of new land as our population grew, the Crown would say, "no," and colonists would have said,"F*** you!" and expanded anyway, perhpaps cutting ties then. The Brittish outlawing slavery wouldnt have helped the situation either.
