So, let's go back an re write history a bit. The Europeans come to the new world, see it populated, and so don't try to colonize it. They trade with the natives, but otherwise leave them alone.
So, today what is the US and Canada is instead a continent divided among hundreds of tribes of people still living a stone age existence. There is some trade among them, but little unity as they represent hundreds of different languages and cultures. North America is the poorest area of the world, poverty worse than Africa. Disease is rampant. Periodic famines wipe out populations. Moreover, warfare has progressed from bows and arrows to AK 47s. Bands of warriors roam, raping and pillaging, much as is happening in Africa. There are few roads in North America, fewer cars and trucks, no electricity except in a few larger towns, and no modern medical care. The area produces nothing much of value, so trade is limited.

Meanwhile, in Europe, the Nazis were able to overwhelm the democracies and take over the region. The "master race" has wiped out most of the Jews, most of the gays, all of the Gypsies. Europe is living in an Orwellian dystopia much like the one that exists in North Korea, except that George Orwell was executed as an enemy of the state long before he did much writing.
Except the Soviet Union would have won, and then been promptly nuked by Britain. The US ensured WW2 ended sooner, but the Allies would have won without you.
Cultures, like organisms, are subject to selection of the fittest. That's how modern societies evolve. Don't cry for the societies that have fallen by the wayside, but celebrate the ones that have survived to pass their culture on to future generations. Life is much better than it would have been had the colonizers just stayed home.
Social Darwinism FTW!
