    It would be ideal to win without gerrymandering like it would’ve been ideal to become a nation without fighting a war with England.

      Massive nitpick: Ideally America wouldn’t have become a nation at all, or at least not when it did. The reason the War of Independence happened was because Parliament massively bungled the issues the colonies had with tax policy, not because America was fulfilling its destiny of independence against the wishes of Great Britain. It was only after Britain thoroughly and consistently messed up that the independence movement started gaining real steam.
