It is not at all evident that it would have needed to break free sometime later. An ex-colony can gain its independence by gradual means, and negotiations with the colonial power. In fact, that is what the Commonwealth is largely about.This question asks, what would have happened if the Revolutionary War had not occurred? This is a type of Uchronia, where we theorize about alternative time lines. It isn't likely that the British would have wanted to remain in North America simply by the application of brute force, which, if nothing else, was very expensive for them. Perhaps, in this timeline King George is mentally well. Instead of pursuing a war, he agrees to some negotiation and compromises. Perhaps they would have addressed enough grievances, that separatist sentiment would have fallen below the threshold of resorting to rebellion.No Revolution, So No USAI think the American rebels had a limited “time slot” to initiate a widespread rebellion against Britain. Britain itself was maturing politically. In what became Canada, this made Britain rather more responsive to reforms in the colonial legislatures. They permitted Representative Government, (The following article is the property of the Canadian Encyclopedia.) Representative Government, and then Responsible Government: Responsible Government. The colonial governments were moving towards democracy. A similar process in the American colonies might have created enough contentment to function in an orderly way with Britain.What if, say around 1773, Britain had said to each of the American colonies, that is the way we are going to go? The people (At least those who were allowed to vote.) will elect their legislatures on the basis of what in, the colonies that became Canada was called, “Rep By Pop”: Rep by Pop | The Canadian Encyclopedia. Then, in Canada, as in the developing British parliamentary system, the members of the provincial legislatures become responsible for selecting a Prime Minister or Premier.The American Revolution pushed the various colonies into uniting and creating a new nation. Without that impetus, the development of an common American identity, deserving of political union, might have been a lot less.In this alternative timeline, it probably would eventually have made sense for at least some of the colonies to form a confederation. This would have served economic expansion by means of an economic union, provided a prouder, “We Are Great” identity, and provided a blue print for the shared goal of expanding west. Also, it is very likely that Britain would not wanted to take an ongoing responsibility, for the total defence of a very large region, with two exposed seacoasts. If anything, the British might have encouraged the Americans to create a united militia, and then formal armed forces. In the new Dominion of Canada, Britain retained some control for a few decades, but moved towards allowing the colonies their own central command.Without the American revolution, Britain might not have seen any need to defend the development of pre-Canadian colonies, from that of the American ones. There would not have been United Empire Loyalists to fill up parts of Eastern Canada, with a resentful, anti-American population. In fact, the loyalists, not having been forced out of Canada, might have been a stabilizing force in the pre-American colonial legislatures. They would have favoured orderly, friendly relations with the mother country. Many would have been supporters of the Church of England, and not especially friendly to the Baptists and evangelical Christians who have become such a force in the, our timeline, USA.Rather, southern Ontario, and the Atlantic Provinces might have developed with similar social structures and mentalities to New England and upstate New York, without feeling much if any separate identity. There wasn't any scope for plantation agriculture or much need for slaves. Rather, the arable parts of the colonies that would, in our timeline, be the core of English-speaking Canada, would have filled up with with small, free-holding farmers. Likely, they would have become members of the alternative timeline, loyal to Britain, colonial union.But, what about the South? Without the American Revolution, would they have become part of a common union with the expanded group of northern colonies? The Industrial Revolution was starting, and the northern colonies would have developed some common economic characteristics with Britain, and then, the search for reforms to mitigate some of the worst results. But, the South would have been in a different economic and social world. The institution of slavery was becoming more odious to the British people. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833: Slavery Abolition Act 1833 - Wikipedia. I don't think Britain would have permitted the southern colonies the same autonomy it would have granted to the northern ones. The southern colonies, one by one, would each have had to present plans to end slavery, or else they would have languished as a sort of cotton-producing backwater, much to weak to rebel against Britain, and not permitted to unite with each other.And, what about Quebec? In our timeline, the American Revolution pushed some loyalists into parts of Quebec, creating local two language, two ethnicity, regions. However, in the alternative timeline, the loyalists would have remained where they were. It is quite probable that Britain would have permitted a separate, Dominion of Quebec. (In our timeline they permitted the creation of a Dominion of Newfoundland and Labrador, not a part of the Dominion of Canada until 1949.)The Dominion of North America Gets Very Great IndeedThe British North America Act, an act of the British Parliament, was necessary to establish the Dominion of Canada. It still would have been necessary, in order to establish the Dominion of North America. Britain had made some commitments to protect the indigenous peoples of North America. But, they didn't honour them in Canada, nor would they have in the Dominion of North America. Rather, settlement would have rolled forward on a massive front. I think Britain, strongly committed to North America, and seeing immense business opportunities, would have enforced something similar to the Louisiana, Gadsen and Alaska purchases. They probably would have forced Mexico south of the Rio Grande, and maybe also purchased Cuba and what became the Dominican Republic from the declining Spanish Empire. (In effect, so, you want a protective alliance with us, give us them.)In short, there would be a massive Dominion of North America, extending from New York City to Nome, but the Southern colonies would still be colonized and controlled units, at the whim of British Empire markets. Maybe, maybe, at some point, if they had completely abolished slavery, and become more economically diverse, the Southern colonies would have been permitted to form their own union, or, each one, would have been allowed, to apply cap in hand, to enter the Dominion of North America.Doesn't The DNA Get Restless?Surely the DNA would get restless, now being huge, but still somewhat subservient to Britain?I don't think so. Think of a country, encompassing most of what became the USA, and with substantial northern additions, not having any Declaration of Independence, no revolutionary constitution, no Fourth of July, no Yankee Doodle Dandy, and no Battle of New Orleans. What if, in that alternative timeline, the British North America Act, as in our timeline, called for peace, order and good government? What if it created British Parliamentary type federal and state legislatures, with a representative of the Crown figure-heading each? What if each one was passing legislation and carrying out its jurisdiction in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, in Right of the Dominion of North America, or the province of Massachusetts, or Illinois, or Florida, or California? (This is what happens in Canada. The monarch reigns directly over Canada, as a separate realm.)Canada proceeded to independence in a series of steps, with British approval, the Statutes of Westminster, in 1931:https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/statute-of-westminster, the creation of Canadian citizenship in 1947, making the Supreme Court of Canada the final court of appeal, in 1949, rather than the British Privy Council, and then, the enactment of a, made in Canada constitution, in 1982. The “Dominion” term finally dropped out, and, Canada, became, just, Canada.The Dominion of North America would not have had anything like the identity and nationalism that was created by the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. In all likelihood, it would not have had the South to give it a little bit of an extreme tinge. I think that, as a result, there might have been a Canadian type march to independence, starting somewhat earlier, because by the mid-1800's the northern USA was already economically big, and moving along a bit faster. Maybe, by 1900, the whole works would have been done, the term Dominion dropped, and some name like the United Provinces of America, might have been adopted.The ties with Britain would still have been affectionate and warm. Military cooperation with Britain would have been a massive boost to a Commonwealth Monroe Doctrine, supported by the British and American navies, suitable for both. In all likelihood this very powerful alliance would have assisted Britain in giving at least one of its mainland European enemies a massive hiding, or so intimidated them, that none one dare start trouble. The British could have unrolled their massive, developing world empire, (India, British Africa, etc.) with the UPA watching their back, and the Americans graciously being permitted to look for profits there.Tail Wag The Dog?So, in this alternative timeline, there likely would have been a massive, capitalist, democratic country where the USA would have been, and its citizens having all the British freedoms, with no taint from slavery. The old Dominion of North America might have had different immigration policies, or enforcement ones (The constitutional requirement for order and good government means that employers will get punished for hiring undocumented workers.) So, maybe the population makeup would have been somewhat different (When the Dominion of Canada ran out of British settlers for the West, it turned to Eastern Europe, not Germany.)Maybe the world outside might have been different. We can't be sure what a British-American hegemony in the world, starting around 1900, what have done to other countries. But, being a citizen of the UPA would have felt very good.What would the United Kingdom have made of all of this? Maybe, a lot of pride in a successfully-raised, still loyal child? I am not sure that alternative timeline Britain would have sought entry to the UPA, but the relationship would probably have been strong enough to permit a European Union type free movement of trade, business and people.Even without a full union with the UPA, Britain could have fulfilled their innate desire to have nothing special to do with those people across the channel, no Brexit, no nothing. Instead, their special relationship with the UPA, would have assisted both of them to dominate a lot of the world, and intimidate a whole bunch of other countries that neither liked.Martin Levine

My father always said voting is a privilege not a right. The rational behind this statement is rights have always existed even before the constitution they are granted to humankind by our creator I say God but I'll use a more inclusive noun. Privileges are enfranchised to classes of citizens or in countries with monarchies subjects. An example of a privilege would be driving it can be denied to individuals until they meet specified requirements. Voting in the United States has been confused with freedom of speech but because voting is a privilege it can be and is denied or is supposed to be denied to anyone who is not a legal natural or naturalized citizen who at the time of the election is registered to vote is of 18 years of age and who is not (in most states) a felon. Most states permit former prisoners who were convicted of felonies to vote but they must meet various specified requirements to become registered voters again. There are some states in which felons who committed certain crimes may never vote their privilege to vote has been permanently denied they still retain the freedom of speech. I know the legislative branch of our government has passed various voting "rights" bills but they are seriously misnamed for what they really are and the shame of it is in doing so poor a job of naming their bills they blurred the line between a right and a privilege. Still the fact remains voting is a privilege of "adult" enfranchisement. If voting were really a right anyone in any given jurisdiction would have the right to vote even is they are only tourists who happen to be present on election day. Furthermore, people could claim the right to vote across state lines and even within their states they could demand their "right" to vote in another city within the same state. Can you imagine the chaos that would create?Not to answer your question the privilege of voting was first reserved to white adult males who were property owners. The rational was that only property owners were likely to have the combination of and education sufficient to understand the issues and the leisure to inform themselves as to the natures of the issues being voted upon and or being able to familiarize themselves with the candidates sufficiently to be able to cast an informed vote. Andrew Jackson's second run for Presidency marks the beginning of Jacksonian Democracy. All white males were enfranchised whether they owned land or not. Though unless you owned property and paid property taxes some elections involving taxation on property were reserved to property owners. Lincoln was quite possibly assassinated by John Wilkes Booth instead of merely kidnapped because he advocated extending voting privileges to the recently emancipated black man. Notice I said black man and not slave. the reason for that is a very high percentage of all white Americans who were early colonists were indentured slaves. The Koch ( later Cook) family from which I come arrived in the USA in 1721 from Germany where they were iron mongers. The high tech industry at the time time was how to consistently make high quality iron without having the iron smelter blow up. My ancestors from that line knew how to build operate and maintain Iron smelters and foundries. Governor Spotswood who was in reality a Lt Governor the actual Governor of Virginia at the time apparently never bothered to come to the Virginia Colony. He just took his cut of the colony's GDP paid the King his cut and lived in England on his estates. Govern Spotswood was not so well heeled that he was interested in retiring on his pension as a Lt. Colonel in the English Army and on his pension as a Lt. Governor so he cast about to find some industry he could found in the Colonies to supplement his pension income. He was a friend of Queen Anne and her first cousin the Prince of Westphalia had quite a number of Iron Mongers in his employ. So Alexander Spotswood asked his Queen to prevail upon her first cousin to two groups of iron mongers. The first migration arrived in Virginia in 1718 my folks were in the second migration and their voyage to the new world is the subject of a book I have been writing on for well fifteen years now. That's neither here nor there but I thought it might add some historical color to the picture.Lincoln was assassinated but at least technically speaking former un-enfranchised Blacks were in fact enfranchised. There quite a number of black senators and congressmen elected in the south during reconstruction the first black US senator was Hiram Rhodes Revels of Mississippi the first black US Congressman was Representative Joseph Rainey of South Carolina. During reconstruction there were a total of 146 Black US Congressmen or US Senators. Saying they were elected is not exactly the truth. During the Reconstruction they were vetted and voted upon by their future fellow congress and senators after being nominated by the President. The states in reconstruction could not vote on their representation and whites who served in the confederate army or who contributed materially to the southern cause were not allowed to serve in government. As each state completed reconstruction though the restrictions on exercising their voting privileges were removed. Gradually the Senate and House was shed of their black Senators and Congressmen. Edmund Brook (R) of Mass was the first black US Senator truly elected.The so called Voting "Rights" Act of 1964 was held up in the Senate by Senator Albert Gore Sr. D TN and Senator J. W. Fulbright D AR and Senator Robert C Byrd D WV as well as quite a few other Senators almost all from the former confederate states not only voted against the 1964 Voting Rights Act but also ran the longest running filibuster in US senate history and it was run exclusively by Democrats attempting to prevent their states black majorities from going to the polls and exercising their duty as citizens of voting.Technically every registered voter has always been able to vote as a matter of practical application since 100% does not statistically exist there will likely always be at least isolated incidents individuals being denied the right to exercise their privilege of voting. Sometime such denial might even be legitimate but there is such a real potential for voting fraud that safeguards to protect against that threat are definitely needed. Not very long ago I heard a story which I think is true about how a voter called the fellow he supported for county sheriff. The Sheriff was out said his mother. The supporter asked where and she said oh he's out rounding up votes the supporter asked where so he could go help and she said well he's that cemetery across the road from the Baptist Church. I suppose a voters registration drive should include everyone in a precinct right?Again your questions answer as a matter of practical application when women we enfranchised nation wide and considering the law on the books at that time permitted all males technically regardless of color to vote one could say the first time would have been in 1920 but then it wasn't until Richard Nixon was President that the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 an act he supported by the way.
