The United States was very close to grabbing both the Bahamas and Bermuda during the American Revolution
-The Bahamas had a pro-independence governor and basically allowed the rebels to take control. The Brits had to take them back.
-The rebels were also close to isolating Bermuda until it surrendered to them, but a bad call allowed Britain to bring reinforcements and keep the island.
Suppose the U.S. gets them. What is their fate?
Do they become states?
Are they taken during the War of 1812?
