Like it or not. The British colonizing and defending North American settlers until we could handle it ourselves would be my argument for their greatest legacy.

Not sure if we needed their defense in the time period in question.

French and Indian war might not have even happened if British involvement was gone. Even if not, it was 2 million vs 60k…..assuming the French vs British buggery happened elsewhere, even the nascent colonies would have eventually won, either my conflict or assimilation .
