A good chunk of mine were Loyalists. When the war ended, they weren't important enough to get back to England, so they went to the Appalachians and then the Tennessee Valley.
Thank God there were some that let me get my SAR membership, though.

My road not taken would have found me living in Bavaria, possibly happily married there.

I can choose any European country to live in, and hell no, I would not trade life in the US for that.
Europe is so pinched and meager. If you have a fortune it can be nice, but so can any place. I spend weeks every year in Europe and other places. Not in the shitty parts, either. I’m in Balmaha Scotland right now 400 yards from Loch Lormond. It’s quaint and all, but the food is just okay and the accommodations - the best in town - suck. I can’t wait to get home. And I live in NOLA!
If I had to choose, and all things being equal, I’d pick Croatia. Or maybe Portugal in the big English communities.

Germany is great in the summer, but those winters would get old quickly.

Czech Republic. They drink a lot, love hockey, make nice pistols, great cars, and they don't like outsiders unless you're directly connected to a Czech

I live in Germany from Louisiana so yeah I have left to live in a European Country. Some good some bad just like anywhere. The negatives of this country are:
Regulations: they regulate the shite out of everything. I understand it to a point because this Country is the land size of Montana with 82 million people, but everything is highly regulated.
Healthcare: it is a mixed bag. 2 tier system Public and Private Insurance so it is a class system. General Care is adequate or even good depending on the community, but specialty medicine is hit or miss more often miss.
Taxes: Finanzamt gets all in that arse and are worse than the IRS. We just settled a case against my wife's parents 5 years after her father died. I would not wish this on my enemies.
The Good
Old Society: there are castles, churches, museums everywhere with cool things to see and do.
Clean: for the most part very clean though I live in Bavaria so it is probably the cleanest state.
Low Crime: Self explanatory.
I don't mind living here and it is like everything you can find the good or bad anywhere you go. If I could choose another country to live in it would be Austria, specifically Salzburg. I love that place ,but then again it is practically Germany.

What the hell are you smoking?
The Anglosphere conquered the world in search of food that had flavor. Irish cuisine is to world food what Lizzo is to supermodels.
