Should we as Brits regret 'losing' the American colonies?
At the time they did but who knows how history would then have panned out?
Gaining independence brought about other issues for the newly fledged Country, not least the American Civil War which took place less than eighty years after gaining self determination.

there is really no such thing as what might have been. there's what happened and what will happen. i've just had to realize that what might have been is imaginary, and it's this beautiful illusion of how it could have been if you had just done this right or if he had just liked you or if things had just lined up. but things don't line up and boys don't like you and you mess up for a reason. -Taylor Swift

Hahaha.. our history lessons at school mostly consisted of the Roman Empire, WW1 and WW2. In primary school you learn about Egyptians, Greeks, Tudors, the Industrial Revolution and stuff like that.. but we never really learn about the US independence!
