That's kind of an absurd comparison.

If you mean "what if time went on without Europeans in the US", that's a big what if. The indigenous peoples would have carried on in the Bronze Age, and would have been wiped out later by a different collection of foreigners.

The reality is that the US benefited from the culture and know how of Europe without the baggage of supporting useless aristocracy.
