The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I think my life would be different if the British or the French had controlled Texas instead of the Spanish. First of all, different cultures, traditions, and customs.
Today, the cities would have had the architectonic influence of the French, for instance, would have established some forts or trade posts in the Texan territory. As the French interest was not really to settle the land, just to get big profits from the fur trade, the influence could have not been as strong as the case of England or as happened with the Spanish influence. Probably, just enough influence to have some beautiful French architecture such as downtown Nee Orleans or French cuisine.

The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a national federation of labor unions in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor association. Samuel Gompers of the Cigar Makers' International Union was elected president at its founding convention and reelected every year, except one, until his death in 1924. The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions which were expelled by the AFL in 1935 over its opposition to industrial unionism. The Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout its first fifty years, after which many craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1940s.
