Britain got rid of a bunch of nuts who thought they were god's chosen people who went to America and unfortunately instilled a distilled WASPy character into early America that continues to this day. Good for business but unpleasant for anybody on the end of it. The Dutch did the same thing 150 years ago, giving a bunch of fuckers that thought they were god's chosen ones a free one-way cruise to the other end of the world. It didn't work out too well for the indigenous peoples of South Africa but it made Holland the country it is today.
