Revolution Altered: An ARW and Beyond Collab
July 22, 1779..
Prisoner exchanges begin to take place. Among them is British Army Sergeant Jack Hawkins. His passionate and fiery speeches to his fellow prisoners, railing against the war and aristocracy, have gained him a small following. Upon boarding a ship back to Britain, he was heard to mutter: "May God show mercy to the lords and dukes, because we sill show none."

August 12th, 1779 :
The British King Georges III was one of the fiercest opponents of the independence of the UAS, but acknowledging the fait-accompli he decided to recognized the United American States and pursue friendly relations with them. The king was persuaded that both nations could become allies since they have common interest and both nations needed to trade with the other one to improve their developments, unfortunately for him many people protested for them the UAS was an English colony and the king behavior would be taken as a sign of weakness, this behavior would also irritate many soldiers to see their former enemies, the traitor being recompensed, but the worst was that the king started to lose a part of his authority since many people in the parliament criticized his management.
As a famous historian will write later: his majesty George III lose the war but win the peace, forgetting that for his subject his victory was considered as a defeat.
In the UAS, even if theoretically the delegate were apoliticals, in reality, they started to split into three groups.
The Hamiltonist, favorable to Hamilton they were pro-British, they wanted to sustain friendly relation with the United Kingdom, they wanted to support the infant industry, the establishment of moderate tariffs and import restrictions, they were autarkic, centralist and protectionist. They were mostly composed of the Northern delegate and were nicknamed the English party
The Jeffersonist : favorable to Thomas Jefferson, they were pro-French and wanted to sustain friendly relation with the Kingdom of France, they were agrarians, for the free-trade, immigrationist and decentralist. They were mostly composed of the Southern delegate and were nicknamed the French party
The last one and the most powerfull were the Franklin-Washington, they were moderate pragmatist and neutralist in term of foreign policies, they didn't have a coherent ideology for the moment but were lead by the two most powerful men of the UAS Franklin and Washington to their great despair, they were composed in a great part of the Central delegate and were nicknamed the Dutch Party.
August 13th, 1779 :
William V, Prince of Orange was the leader of the pro-British faction in the Dutch Republic and was highly criticized for his behavior, the pro-American faction and the pro-french faction wanted to join the war to help the UAS to gain their independence and gain new allies against the British and this war proven that the Dutch could have made huge gains if they joined the war for a cheap cost, for them the Netherlands was the big loser of this war, they gain nothing and they were not sure that they will have this opportunity again, worse even the militarists and nationalists started to criticize him. Dutch and the UAS would sign trade agreement but they will not be in the same level that the British or the French one, the pro-British faction started to lose power every day in favor of other factions.

O.O.C : He's still Secretary of War as OTL, so de-factor leader of the Army and Navy, he perceived for many as the general that lead the rebellion and the UAS to the victory. The soldiers and the UAS navy are loyal to him.
August - September, 1779:
With their new found independence, the current form of the congress held its fourth and final convention before reorganizing itself as the 1st United States Congress in the spring of next year.
While much of the proceedings were housekeeping and interstate affairs, it had become clear a stronger federal authority was needed. The Franklin-Washington centrist, and the pro-British Pro-industrial Hamilton factions collaborated to carry many strong government reforms and acts.
These included:
Consolidation of all foreign debt held by individual states, into a single federal debt, and reorganized treasury.
Tariffs and taxes to fund the new government.
Taking over the Ohio valley/former Quebec claims west of the Appalachians from the states, and incorporating itnto the Ohio Territory and Southwest Territory divided by the Ohio River, and bordered by the Appalachians, Mississippi and Great Lakes.
Formal recognition of the Bahamas as a state. (Although there was much debate with many arguing against it's small population size)
Final form of the UAS flag, 15 stripes and 15 stars for each of the original colonies. (There was later historical debate if the 15th was originally meant for the Bahamas or had been intended for Quebec, until they opted for French protectorate status)
Elections were scheduled to take place in November, for the first formal peace time terms of the UAS president and congress.
Arbitration over the Vermont issue. Vermont would later formally become the 1st new state in the UAS, in March, 1780 And become the 1st UAS Congress first act.
March 1st, 1780
Benjamin Franklin, by unanimous vote, is sworn in as the first UAS president. George Washington is vice-president.
March 2nd, 1780:
Vermont becomes the 16th state of the UAS.

Ooc: Wouldn't make more sense for them to be loyal to the Commander of the Continental Army, John Hancock? Also, Washington isn't a general...
O.O.OC It means that the soldiers were paid by Washington, also as OTL he gets a lot of charisma and get good relation with many important member of the millitary, his reform and conduct as secretary are highly valued, and he sucesffuly saved Benedict Arnold's army in Ticonderoga, also John Hancock is one of his best friend (OTL Hanock named his son John George Washington Hancock). Washignton gained the trust of the common soldier and the high-officers.
March-August 1780:
Birth of the Shays' Rebellion, even if many blamed the Hamiltonist and centralist for this, historians tend to agree that the cause of the revolt was mostly due to the end of the war, the European business partners of Massachusetts merchants refused to extend lines of credit to them and insisted that they pay for goods with hard currency, so the Merchants began to demand the same from their local business partner or The rural farming population was generally unable to meet the demands of merchants and the civil authorities, quickly some began to lose their land and other possessions. This led to strong resentments against tax collectors and the courts, a mob seized property that had been confiscated by a constable and returned it to its owners. the Governor decided to send the militia to suppress these actions unfortunately for him, the militia loyal to the protester joined the rebellion and took the side of the rebel, in few weeks the state was in the hand of the rebel, fearing a full-scale rebellion, the UAS sends an army to stop the rebels and General Benjamin Lincoln solicited funds and raised more than £12,000 to pay the soldiers.
The Halmitonist used this to advocate for a strong government to protect the country and defend their interest, but in the same time period, Jefferson declared that ": The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
The Jeffersonist would gain a lot of prestige by claiming that they were right and that hamilton policy would lead the country to the failure, consolidating their popularity in the south, and would block any attempt to strengthen the government's power. It would lead to a vicious debate between Jeffersonist and Halmitonist. But this period would also the birth of the Franklin-Washington as a coherent block, fearing a civil war between both factions they agreed that they would be the moderate voice because according to them Jeffersonist and Halmitonist would lead them to the ruin.
the Northern delegation want to kill all the states to form a unitarian authoritarian state but at the same time the southern want to destroy the UAS to form sixteen agrarians colonies living as the Romans, this sentence was pronounced by a bitter delegate after a fierce session to the parliament, but more and more Franklin-Washington delegate seems to agree with him and decided to act together? the Franklin-Washington centralist would often take the Hamilton side, the decentralist would take the Jefferson side, but sometime they would act together if the balance seemed threatened or to highlight some of their reforms, the first move would be in term of diplomacy when Benjamin Franklin persuaded the Dutch merchant to accept the soft currencies, it would not stop the rebellion but it would calm the merchant and many rural allowing the party to gain prestige, it would also the first time that the party acted together and would give a sentiment of a common group.

September-November 1780
John Hancock proclaims his position as a Franklin-Washingtonian and tours the country from the newly admitted Vermont to the Bahamas, proclaiming national unity and praising the efforts of the average Continental soldier. He also praised the martyred Benedict Arnold, calling him a true son of the Revolution.
Hancock also gave credit to Washington, who took the field when Hancock was in New Jersey fighting the British army.
Hancock, while in Philidelphia, was interviewed by one of Ben Franklin's newspapers, admitted he was planning on seeking the presidency when the term for Franklin was up.

December 1780 :
End of the Shays' Rebellion mollified by the measure put in place by Benjamin Franklin and the letter written by Washington sent to the rebel, an amnesty is declared and the territory is pacified.
Most historians still debate concerning Washington role during the crisis, even if he was neutral and his political view was quite moderate, he was still a huge centralist but the rebellion and Benjamin Franklin changed his behavior he was afraid to see his country fall in the anarchy, persuaded by the central delegate he decided to act with diplomacy, Shay's served under his order and this latter still respected him, so he decided to send a letter asking toward the unity and the peace. Fortunately, the Loyalist and the Rebel were kinda tired of the war and Shay decided to accept the peace.
Concerning John Hancock candidature, even if in public Franklin or Washington never backed him as their candidate, they still supported him in a roundabout way, and quickly many delegates of their faction started to consider him as their nominee, it was clear that the Franklin-Washington get a candidate.
January 1781 :
Louis XVII was influenced by his personal belief and the persuasive arguments of Malesherbes, minister of Louis XVI, and Rabaut Saint-Etienne, spokesman of the Protestant community of France moreover the eminent French philosophers and literary personalities of the time, such as the American Benjamin Franklin would write to convince him for a better religious tolerance.
And to avoid a religious conflic because even if some British loyalist fleed away after the war, a sizeable minority of them decided to stay in Quebec, the king proclaimed the Edict of Versailles, this declaration allowed the non-Catholics to benefit from civil status without having to convert to Catholicism.
February 1781 :
In France, the parliament required that Necker leaves his job of Principal Ministre of State, Louis XVII would accept their demand by appointing Turgot as Comptroller General of Finance and Principal Ministre of State. Louis XVIII was a pragmatist but also a member of the Enlightenment. The French king wanted to reform France, it was clear to him that his country couldn't have survived to a longer war, the debt was too huge, the corruption too high, and each reform put in place was not enough he needed to clean the Augean stables.
Unfortunately, the parliament refused to reform, so he decided to operate without them, by creating the provincial assembly. Each parish would an elective assembly, to which would be electors and eligible all the landowners owning at least 600 pounds of income (with a number of votes proportional to income). Parish delegates were to form a district municipality, then provincial municipalities, and finally a general municipality. These various assemblies would be responsible for distributing the tax among the owners, parishes, districts, and provinces, to maintain the roads and works of parish, common, provincial or national interest. They would work collectively with the bailiffs, Prefect, etc appointed by the King and these latter would also play the role of mediators.
The first assembly would be appointed to the province of Berry, in the great joy of the local population. A great surprise for the period was the fact that some women were electors and electible, even if in reality the French society was sexist and didn't include many women in power, Turgot, and Louis XVII choose to not limit the post to men because some corporations were held by women and it was necessary to represent them.
The measure put in place by Turgot, would be a mix between decentralization and centralization, the province would gain back some autonomy and the government would allow to manage themselves but in the same time the king didn't lose his power, it was even the opposite, the country continued his centralization, customs barriers were down, a new system of carriage and post under the authority of the kingdom were set up. This paradox of centralization and decentralization could be explained by the reduction of parliament power, the biggest loser since they would see their power lessened.
This event would lead to the birth to the conjuration of the obscurantists.

A treaty is approved by Franklin that would establish formal recognition of the Western Confederacy of native tribes in the northwest territory. Chief Little Turtle of the Miami managed to convince the Americans to respect their territory in the Western fringes of the North West Territory.
Franklin was given an embroidered deerskin Jerkin as a symbol of peace. Hancock and Washington both received war tomahawks. Thomas Jefferson, who was instrumental in organizing the treaty, was given an ornately carved smoking pipe.

Paymaster: Ah, yes. A "worthy" unit indeed. How long did it take the 5th to show its true colors.........that of yellow.
Hawkins: What did you say to me asshole? What did you do during the American Expedition? Play with yourself while counting pounds?
Paymaster: If you want your money, Sergeant, you better show a bit of military courtesy..........what little you have.
Hawkins: Requesting my discharge pay...........sir!
Paymaster: Here you go...........10 pounds as a gift from his majesty. Now go blow it on some cheap ale, and get out the Hell out of my queue.
Hawkins: One last question, sir..........what is your name?
Paymaster: I am Captain William Coveton. Why do you ask?
Hawkins: The next time we meet, captain, I will speak to you on high with a million voices at my back.

December of 1779
The months long protest remained only somewhat smoldering has seemingly increased in scope and region. Laborers and farmers have allied with the merchants to protest unfair BEIC agricultural policy, as well as Hindu and Muslim priests agitation over Christian proselytization in the area. Certain other cities of South India are additionally organizing cities, with the Nizam allowing demonstrations in Secunderabad.

January 1782 :
The fact that numerous UAS settler, start to come in Quebec would scare many Quebecers and would revive linguistic tension.
The Quebec delegate would proclaim the French settler act, each French settler would receive 10 louis d'or and free land.
February 1782 :
The king Charles II of Spain will launch a series of reform, to sustain Spanish economie, he would also put in place a cadaster and a national bank.
To counter UAS settler, the Spanish king would encourage Spanish settler in the colonies but, in Louisiana he would encourage Acadians and Poitevins settlers to develop Louisiana and to dry the marshes by the aboiteaux technique.

February 1782:
Most of Quebec's francophone population was centered around Quebec City, and while the start of UAS immigration into the peninsula was frightening to some, it was on the other side of a long country and far removed from the majority of the francophones, and thus was paid little heed among the common francophone homesteader. Quebec, being newly formed, had little ability in enforcing their borders so far removed from their capital center, and lacked the funds and forces to do so.
The reactionary measures of the Quebecois Government started to annoy the pre-existing majority anglophone population already established in Montreal, which began protesting due to under-representation in the government.
OOC: I don't think there would be much in the way of UAS settlers hitting Spanish Louisiana or Florida yet (aside from who was already present in the Floridas) because there is plenty of space in the UAS territories in between to fill up first. (Where as the Ontario peninsula is immediately bordering New York, and thus much closer than the territories) Also the Acadian expulsions already happened pre-POD, (and thus were not UAS settlers), and those who are left are already established in a UAS state now.
O.O.C : Concerning Spain, it's mostly as OTL, they attracted foreign Acadians (expulsed after the Seven Years' War and that joined back France) and some french frome the Region of Poitou for their knoweldge concerning the aboiteaux technique, concerning Florida OTL they tried to attract Spanish settler because they were wary of potential USA settler (not affraid just wary), but for now the number of people concerned is really, really small and didn't have a huge impact, it's just what happened OTL. And I didn't say if they will be successful.
Concerning the Acadians I talked of the one that leave the Americas to join back France before they relocating in Louisianna at the request of the Spaniards because they valued their knoweldge about the Aboiteaux technique, as OTL.
