Reply to comment by iwanttobehappy2022 in what if New England was under British empire after American Revolution by Consistent-Bat9690

I think maybe OP called Maine “New Ireland” because in the War of 1812 the Brits tried to set up a new colony in Maine called New Ireland.

However the name would only really make sense if we got stuck with the Brits again by losing the War of 1812 and not the Revolution like with this post.

We did lose the war of 1812?

By lost I meant got conquered. I know there’s the debate over whether or not we won or if it was a tie, but we definitely didn’t get conquered.

Yes, I was thinking more of, "we declared a war and got our butts kicked and all we got for it was a bad poem for a national anthem".
