Another thing to consider is that shortly after the revolutionary war the British Empire started to become rather more anti-racism and slavery. Had the US remained in the Empire like the other colonies they most likely would have adopted the rest of the Empire's attitude to slavery and non-white peoples much sooner, and the Civil War and more recently Civil Rights movement might have not been required.
