american revolution

In our timeline, the Albany Plan of Union was a plan to create a unified government for eleven of the Thirteen colonies that would later form the United States of America (Delaware was considered part of Pennsylvania at the time and Georgia was considered too young and too pro-monarchy). While...

otl, louisana changed hands numerous times from 1763 to 1803. French to Spanish to French to American. But, I was wondering: what if Britain took the territory in 1763 after the seven years war? Perhaps in exchange, Spain gets the French Antilles, leaving Paris with Quebec and Haiti? I don't see...

So WI the American Revolution fails & Thomas Jefferson is able to gain asylum in France, is he able to moderate the French revolution when it happens (it probably still does because France is broke and the monarchy is still unpopular.)

"While we had France for an enemy, Germany was the scene to employ and baffle her arms." - William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham The European theater of the Seven Years' War was almost entirely centered around Prussia, the mighty Iron Kingdom against whom three European Great Powers - France...

After American Revolutionary War, The majority of the 400,000 to 500,000 Loyalists remained in new United States of America. Those who left were die-hard British Monarchists and those who actively fought against the Patriots. Those who stayed, assimilated into the new American society, with...

Based off a very old thread I made years ago. In OTL, after the American Revolution, many Loyalists fled to British Canada, and settled in Canadian Provinces such as New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec. In an Alternate Scenario, the Americans wins the Battle of Quebec, and took the Province...

In a post American Revolution POD, have at least 1 state leave and rejoin the British Empire, but not through British military might alone. The title is a Hamilton allusion.

Let's say that the Northern and Middle colonies revolt as otl but the southern colonies (and maybe Delaware) remain loyal to London, how does this effects the next century? Would they try to invade New Spain during the Napoleonic Wars? Would they be able to prevent abolition in the empire...

We all know Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolutionary general who proclaimed himself Emperor and used his military to spread both the Revolution's ideals and his empire. Let's not talk about him. Let's talk about the Marquis of Lafayette, a figure I find quite underrated. The "hero of both worlds"...

What if John Laurens hadn't died in battle in 1782? How might things have changed?

Hey everyone. So, if the British won the American Revolution, how likely would the abolition of slavery in the Thirteen Colonies be? I know that many black people in North America (both free and enslaved) fought for the British, and part of what motivated this was that Britain seemed more likely...

One of the watershed incidents what led to the revolt of the Thirteen colonies was the support of King George III and his subsequent deposition by parliament on account of insanity. Historians have now widely believed that King George III did indeed suffer from mental illness, but at the time...

Basically, WI New Brunswick became part of the US? Alternatively (so to speak) could New Brunswick have been what New England might have been like if the American Revolution had failed?

What happens to the American Revolution in a world where France won the 7 Years' War? What changes occur to it? I think if the taxation without representation issues still exist, the American Revolution would still occur?

Vital spark of heav’nly flame! Quit, O quit this mortal frame: Trembling, hoping, ling’ring, flying, O the pain, the bliss of dying! Cease, fond Nature, cease thy strife, And let me languish into life. Hark! they whisper; angels say, Sister Spirit, come away! What is this absorbs me quite...

I've had a timeline for some time exploring this idea. However, I'm sure there would have to be a lot of changes to OTL in order for Quebec to join the United States. I was thinking that, following the 7 Year's War, Britain attempts a cultural genocide in French North America, limiting all...

Around the 17th Century, the Iroquois Confederacy settled north, around Lake Ontario. These included seven villages: Ganneious - on the site of present-day Napanee Kente - on the Bay of Quinte Kentsio - on Rice Lake Ganaraske - on the site of present-day Port Hope Ganatsekwyagon - at the mouth...

What if the British had played it a bit safer at the Battle of Bunker Hill and cut off the Charlestown Neck, as Clinton suggested, rather than letting Howe and Burgoyne's overconfidence carry the day?

When France and Spain joined the American Revolutionary War, they weren't in it out of simple altruism. They wanted to make gains at Britain's expense. One of Spain's primary war aims was the recapture of Gibraltar, lost to Great Britain during the War of the Spanish Succession. So in June 1779...

Assuming America doesn't get independence for a good long while afterwards, what is American culture like in post-revolutionary British America? I assume it would be a cross between Canada and Australia, particularly in the West, with some unique aspects of American culture and cuisine emerging...
