[ WP ] You time travel to 1776 . You are filming a documentary about the founding fathers and utilize time travel to get live footage . Everything is normal until you get back ... history has changed . What happened ?

I notice a man pointing his rifle at *me*. 
 
 I almost got shot. 
 
 *I better get going. * 
 I turn my watch to the current date, 5/16/15, and press the red button. 
 I step out of the device, and head over to the couch. 
 I turn on the television. 
 Something's a bit *different*. It looks the same as it did before, but something *feels* different. I move to the computer desk and search `` The Revolutionary War''. I click on the wikipedia page, hoping to find information about the Revolution and how it happened. It's still there, but there's a new web page. `` The Battle of Long Island. ``, which is what I used for filler footage. *Yes, that was the place I went for my footage. *, I think to myself. The only thing it says, is that one account states that a man with a telescope appeared, and starting looking through it. He suddenly dissapears after about 15 minutes, the account states. The British and the Americans agree to a cease fire, to figure out what just happened. They set up camp for a few days. They begin talking about their differences, and why they're fighting. General George Washington spoke to Major General William Howe, the commander of the British forces at the battle. They both agreed to an armistice. The fighting did not continue, and the war ended six months later. 
 *What? * 
 I open a map of the united states. Most of the eastern part ( Illinois and beyond ) of the US is owned by the British. That must have been a result of their agreement. 
 
 Slavery was abolished in the early 1800s. With the two superpowers working together, the 1900s became what was the 2000s. World War II never happened. 
 
 *Oh my god. * 
 I run over to the time traveling device. 
 `` SET DATE: August 27, 1776.'' 
 
 The men are still fighting. I must have gotten here a bit earlier then my past-self. I find a dead soldier on the ground, killed from a headshot. The cloth of his uniform is in good shape. I loot him, and take his clothing. I take off my sweatshirt, sweatpants, and Nike's, and put them in a crater from a cannon. I put on his uniform. *Nice fit. * I pick up his rifle. A bit too inaccurate, but it'll work. It's already loaded, thank god. 
 
 There I am. 
 
 *Oh my god, that's me. * 
 
 Without thinking, I point my rifle in his- I mean my- direction, and fire. 
 
 I almost got shot.
