Another aspect of this delayed independance: more Native Americans left 
alive.  After becoming less Euro-centric the colonists decided to 
slaughter their way across the continent.  They used any and all means to 
decimate the indigenous population to take whatever they wanted.  If 
independance had been delayed the colonies would have remained 
Euro-centric for much longer allowing the indigenous population to 
acclimate to the 'culture' of whites.  They may have developed some 
defense mechanisms and survived much longer or at least coped with the 
clash much better.
