I moved Great Britain and this happened... WorldBox!

Great Britain colonized much or the World, and most famously lost the US to their independence. But what would happen if Britain was moved over to the US now? WorldBox once again supplies us with the answer!

“Texas already took over whatever state that was” is the most accurate statement that could be made by a Brit in regards to Oklahoma.

[@lomiification]

Hmm. Was the trail of tears a Texas driven thing?

[@Johnneo1119]

@@lomiification No it has nothing to do with Texas, it was the president at the time Andrew Jackson and the 1830 Congress. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. The act authorized the president to exchange Indian lands within existing state borders for lands west of the Mississippi. the president sent in the Army who forcefully relocated natives from Tennessee and Alabama to Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. which is where Indian reservations stand to this day.

Fun fact, the first steel bridge was made in Missouri, the eads bridge over the Mississippi cennecting St.Louis to the west, thats why it has the gateway arch.

[@cyborgjellyfish-]

Sorry mate, RCE said invented, not built. That means he's talking about Sir Henry Bessemer's patent in the 1850s. While we're talking about the Eads I'd also have to point out that Andrew Carnegie was born in Fife. So while the great and mighty James Eads might have the record, it was based on an English invention and built by a Scotsman. But hey, that's all water under the bridge... ... yes that whole thing was just a laboured effort to get that pun in. ;)
