Interesting idea. If instead of waffling so long Britain makes a major effort earlier and seeks to stamp down hard on the rebels. Might make for a shorter war and a decisive victory, at least in the short/medium term. Followed probably by a generous peace where Britain relents on the issue of...

Those are possible ways things could develop although how important was slavery to the north at this stage. Note that other than the Maritime provinces the US hasn't gained any real, settled territory so I seem a limited incentive for any greater change than OTL other than the south being more...

I can't see any alliance for the US in this period being linked to areas outside the immediate NA area. Other than possibly for trade protection elsewhere. The French revolution was initially seen as weakening France by conservatives elsewhere while it gained a fair measure of support by...

I think your assuming far too much in events parallying OTL. We're going to see no end of butterflies even assuming things go as Skallagrim thinks. Possibly, assuming the French revolution still occurs and you get a military dictator like Napoleon it might not necessarily be him. A different...

Interesting. I wasn't aware that Britain was prepared to make such huge concessions to the rebels, although as you say if somehow they lose all of the mainland Maritime region those areas are pretty much undefendable by them. Mind you with such a situation if France and Quebec were to get...

Not really in the short term. Also the population was socially pretty conservative by most reports. As such and also with the desire for protection I would expect them to want to return to French rule if Britain was driven out. Whether French pride would be less powerful than French need for...

Dubious about the US getting OTL southern Ontario. They were lucky enough to get the old NW terrotory OTL which had been part of the Quebec colony after 1763 and was mainly influenced by fur traders from Montreal. I could see them getting the OTL borders because without a great power supporter...

Provided you can trust the US to keep their word. Which could be a concern in London.
