13 colonies become four nations.

I like West Quebec so lets go with that. Yet I don't think that Louisiana is going to roll over while fellow Frenchmen are under attack. The Republic of West Quebec would be allied to Louisianna and under a series of successful and unconclusive battles (like that between the U.S. and British Canada) The French Alliance would be victorious. Afterwards (as mentioned before) with the industry of West Quebec merged with the agrarian, trade and oil of Louisianna the French republics would be a formidable force.
And to Othniel - my presumption was that the geography of North America didn't stop American and Spanish troops and migrants so it shouldn't stop the Europeans. The British would want as much Pacific coastline as possible.

If there has to be a Quebec Occidental, then it should be limited to the lands of OTL Wisconsin. The lands of OTL Minnesota are part of the land that the US received from Great Britain at the end of the War of Independence. They, the US Government, is not going to allow any other people, not even a group of expatriot Frenchmen, set up there own country.

I just figured out where the problem is, besides mixing up Wisconsin and Minnesota. OTL Minnesota and Wisconsin were formed from the Minnesota Territory. The Minnesota Territory is east of the Mississppi, there for part of the territory ceded by Britain to the US at the Treaty of Paris. The southern and western portions of OTL Minnesota are part of the Louisiana Purchase. The original western border of the US was the Mississippi to its headwaters and to the Lake of the Woods.
Just cut the cheese a little differently. So to speak.
Maybe the Minnesota Territory is admitted to the Union. If there has to be a New Quebec, make it on the west bank, carved out of Louisiana. Really, of the three powers in the region, Louisiana has the least capability of holding on to any territory.
