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.
During colonial periods, good were most commonly transported on river, thats why early civilizations lived close to rivers.
They could now ship things to ports nearby faster and easier than before.
Business people in intense competition with each other to produce a better, less expensive product or service are and always has been good for the economy of any country. When businesses are allowed to become too big to fail, to hire trained gunslingers in the form of expensive lobbyists and contribute heavily to the campaigns of candidates who provide those businesses favors, privileges, subsidies, tax cuts, etc., they cease to be good for the economy of our country. Business owners hate unions because it gets in the way of them making money. The ego maniacal business owner values profit above treating employees with dignity or as a human being at all. Forcing an employee to skip lunch is the difference between earning $100 to $0.00. Unions are hated because they force business owners to do the right thing. Sometimes what is right keeps them from maximizing their profits. There are labor laws, however can be ignored when greed is involved. Most employers get away with it as opposed to employers who have employees with unions.
it would violate the goal of creating a colorblind society
