In Our Timeline (OTL), the American Revolutionary War resulted in 13 of the British North American colonies succeeding in winning independence from the British Empire, and eventually founding what would become the world's oldest surviving federation and its sole superpower by 1991 CE. In spite of this fact, the Americas, the only continents on Earth other than Australia, whose nations were completely defined by European Colonialism remained divided, both internationally and internally. To this day the damage done by the United States on the Native American population is considered an atrocity on par with the Holocaust, and the denial of African Americans of the same rights as all fellow Americans still haunts the US to this day, remedied only by a century of changes in America's culture.

| - In Our Timeline (OTL), the American Revolutionary War resulted in 13 of the British North American colonies succeeding in winning independence from the British Empire, and eventually founding what would become the world's oldest surviving federation and its sole superpower by 1991 CE. In spite of this fact, the Americas, the only continents on Earth other than Australia, whose nations were completely defined by European Colonialism remained divided, both internationally and internally. To this day the damage done by the United States on the Native American population is considered an atrocity on par with the Holocaust, and the denial of African Americans of the same rights as all fellow Americans still haunts the US to this day, remedied only by a century of changes in America's culture. What if the United States had united the Americas and become the premier world power long before the 20th Century's end? Now in all seriousness this would be nearly impossible to imagine beyond outside intervention of those that could give the US a major leg up over the nations of Europe; but what if just such an intervention did occur? This timeline is technically an Alternate History TL, but it has been criticized for being too "Sci-Fi," as it briefly dabbles in the possibility of time-travel; I would ask that people who have concerns for this premise look no further than the "Island in the Sea of Time" series by SM Stirling.
