I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How would history and the U.S. have turned out different had the Americans taken over Canada during the War of 1812?
Would we have assimilated the French eventually, like we did with all those other European nationalities that immigrated here?
How would the addition of northern states affected the tensions between north and south over slavery?
Would the absorption of the non-French Canadians done anything to affect American culture?
How would the U.S. government have behaved towards the Canadian aboriginals?
Would the U.S. be a much more powerful or richer country today?
(Please try to be serious.)
