Not exactly, the American colonies were integrally as British as Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England. Also demographically The whole country has around 8 million people at the time, around 2.5 million of them in the 13 colonies. Baseball was a sport developed before independence and probably before the Mayflower, hence so much British culture from before 1774 is the same on both sides.
We're all speaking English for one, there's nothing wrong with it we are up until very recently in the grand scheme the same nation spread over the Atlantic

It was a minority that imposed its will on the majority from what I understand. Look where the money goes, who owned slaves in the American founders and what was Britian moving to do to dismantle the slave trade. Arguable the lack of slave trade left the north out of the market and gave economic incentive to be opposed to slavery in addition to moral.
So indirectly, the American Rebellion and the American Civil War were both caused by the same policy in London.

Aye, we had an NFL here a few years back, was popular as Rugby is the main sport I reckon here and the major tournaments are a bit rarer than the fans would like.
Pity it got closed down, I was starting to get interested in the sport (we saw it as a similar sport to Rugby than we did to Football) but hey, what can you do.

INB4 some waspish Brit jumps in with his incorrect assumption that it's the same thing as rounders.
INB4 some ignorant American says something equally stupid in retort. Way too late for the first one and this is OOPE, so the latter is considerably beneath average in probability.
