Y'know all the places have links to their OTL locations.
I know but I'm also lazy as shit so it get's annoying clicking the links constantly

On another note, how racist will La Floride become? It'll be racist, sure, but without the "you're either black or white, no in between" racial policy of the Jim Crow South (the French had a three level system of Whites, Creoles and Blacks, so you won't have Noirs that are 40% White like how many African Americans IOTL have large amounts of European (mainly from the British Isles) ancestry (causes ranging from indentured servants and slaves having kids to slave owners raping their slaves) (BTW you'd have to be a special type of douchebag to not just be a rapist but also ENSLAVE YOUR OWN F***ING CHILD!). Anyway, it's pretty hard to beat the Jim Crow South in terms of racism, but a multi-leveled racial system didn't make Brazil any less racist, and neither did both slave and free man going to the same churches. On the other hand, there were biracial creoles who rose to high status, so it could go either way.
Let the flamewar begin!
BTW Southern Pride, no disrespect intended.
Well they're Catholic for one. The French still ban Huguenot settlement in their colonies ITTL. Also, most come from the west coast of France as of now, especially from the areas around Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Nantes.I mean, looking at French colonies, your scope runs from Haiti to Louisiana. My suspicion is that the French Caribbean is the most approximate model for the plantation-heavy regions, in the same way, and for many of the same reasons, Barbados was such a formative influence on OTL South Carolina.
Where things get interesting is the OTL Carolina back-country, where TTL's voyagers will settle. Who are they? Where in France do they come from? How many of them are there? What percentage are escaped slaves, and how do escaped slaves integrate into voyager society, if at all? Are they Catholic or Huguenot? And what's their relationship with the African, mixed-race and planter class populations? That's going to determine the answer to a lot of your questions on race, I think.
That is to be revealed in the future. BTW, an update is in progress.I just found this timeline and I'm eager to see where it goes. Especially what the northern border between French and English colonies(or independent countries) will end up being. How far west could the French realistically expand, all the way to Pacific, or stick to Gulf coast of Texas?
I'll have to do that.Are you going to make new threadmarks with these chapters? Feel like it wouldn't be too hard
