You better hope so, they're still pissed about you guys forcing the opium on them and stealing their silver.
Don't forget the next sleeping giant........India. They're kind of pissed of they had to buy Liverpool salt even though the subcontinent is a giant salt bed.
The Zulus want another shot.
And BTW, Americans militias are much more heavily armed now, no more stupid muskets. We really want try out our Bushmasters with scopes and big magazines against guys with tall hats, white pants, and bright red coats.

I beg your pardon! We didn't steal Chinas silver. We sold the opium for silver. A straight comercial transaction.
We stole the contents of the summer palace.
As for the militias in the US our cunning plans include buying up all the triple xxxl combat trousers and seizing all the fast food resteraunts in the first wave. A dirty job. But someone has to do it. Deprived of clothing and supplies the militia will wither on the vine. If they don't then strategic opening of all fast food resteraunts behind British lines and a leaflet campaign advising that they can swap a rifle for an extra large meal will soon break their spirit to resist.

It depends. Given the low wages expected in some parts of our new relm, versus the initial start up costs of catching purchasing feeding and maintaining slaves it actually works out a little cheaper to have free labour
Mind you there are advantages to enslaving everyone then freeing them for propaganda purposes. It worked last time.

If you plan to garrison The Rifles here you have to go back to the old name, "The Royal Americans."

How about Arizonashire or Nevadashire? I know they arent exactly cultural centers of the universe but from a quick look on google earth I think theres plenty of sunshine and a lot of space to hunt with hounds?
