No you didn't.
Britain hardly put anything into holding onto the colony and you were helped by the French.
We beat you in the rematch! (1812)

Vive La France !!
And they gave us a great statue too !

From a personal point of view, one thing I have to thank American society/prosperity for is the music that its demographics, surplus of wealth, and cultural reach have caused to be invented, made possible and produced.
1. The Constitution
2. Baseball
3. Jazz music

Do you believe in God?
How ever I will say I do believe in a higher being, him/her what you may. That converstion will continue until the end of time I am sure.
"God bless the United States", I believe this is a time that the United States needs a little support, from everyone. As long as Nations fight each other nothing will be accomplished!! Still one of the most powerful Nations in the world.
Imagine how different this world would be if everyone worked together instead of against each other! Those Billions of dollars spent on weapons could be put to much better use feeding the needy of the world.
