I guess I should mention this, America should be grateful that Britain supplied the slaves. It provided a lot of wealth, made people like the founding fathers rich, made a new race in America, helped develop the US economy and quite a lot more.
Britain also made music genres such Heavy Metal, Punk, Britpop, British Invasion, and more.
Prime Ministers such as MArgaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and John Major have helped US presidents into the making of the 21st century. (Although, that probably shouldn't be classed as a good thing) 😮
Inventions such as the computer, television, telephone. Bill Gates, is actually British.
I guess there's a lot of things, but now that I think about it, america has helped Britain also. I shall thank Robtard for supporting me on this. (And by that I mean, he told me to do it.)
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong now guys.
Britain did not really supply America's slaves, Britain had outlawed slavery long before the American Civil War.
Not sure what "new race" you're referring to? I'm guessing you mean 'new culture'? Even then, Britain didn't make the American culture, immigrants from many countries coming into America made it.
As far as music and any other pop culture you refer too, America nor any other country owes Britain for these things.
Prime Minsters helping U.S. Presidents, America and the Britain are allies and allies help each other, it goes both ways here. No real thanks needed.
Inventions...
Computer: Many different people are credited in one way or another for this invention, but Konrad Zuse is credited for inventing the first programmable computer in 1936 which lead us to what we have now; he is German.
Television: Edwin Belin is credited for what lead to the T.V. invention and he is English, but again, more than more person shares credit for the television(final product).
Telephone: Alexander Graham Bell is Scottish, so thank you Scotland!
Bill Gates: Born in Seattle Washington, so that would make him an American.
Yes, for the most part you were wrong...
