Answer 1

Go back to North America. Give the colonists some representation in Parliament and a little more ‘freedom’ to rule and re-write laws and economic policies (taxes). This would have appeased some of the revolutionary leaders and most of the common people. This may have led to a diplomatic, not militaristic, resolution to the grievances of the colonies that were eventually written in the Dec. of Indep.
