Let's not even address the point I made earlier about the differences in the reasons for independence. I would argue there is a huge difference between colonies and states were admitted into a federal union. I also think we can see the difference when we compare the efforts put forth to regain these lost territories. Britain essentially decided it wasn't worth it to try to keep 13 of their 27 plus New World colonies (might be off, but there were 20 alone in North America).

We can also look at the argument of foreign recognition.
