I was reading up on the congress of Vienna in general and the Polish-Saxon crisis in particular when a question hit me, say that Prussia gains all of Saxony....how well were its integration into the prussian state fare? The Rhineland saw the prussians as occupiers and in the later province of Hannover there was the Welfenpartei.
Now the Rhineland was mostly catholic and Saxony nearly completely protestant so that might ease things but the saxons had been a regional power for longer than Prussia and frequently on the opposite side in conflicts.
Would it ever be "just another province" or would it be plagued with similar regional separation as the Rhineland?
Also, what would be the cultural implikationer most of the protestant north east consolidated into one large state?
