yeah, it was a close one a couple times, with england nearly entering the fray. their first concern was if they came in, they might actually end up facing a re-united country. they were also worried they could finally end up losing canada if they interefered. so they ultimately decided to stay out, as it offered far more risk than reward.
we would have done well, more than once, to take heed of george washingtons infinite wisdom in his farewell address. one of his biggest pieces of advice-stay out of europe and her petty bs. and with what we now face in the middle east, he'd have said the same about that region.
