Alright, so I've always been fascinated with Bacon's Rebellion, and what not many people realize is that Bacon ran Virginia and Albemarle Settlement (part of what would become North Carolina) for a little while.
So the big thing here is two potential PODs, Bacon doesn't die on October 26 and maybe a hurricane wipes out the English fleet or the plague strikes Britain, (really just anything that might be needed to cripple the war effort, maybe Queen Anne of the Pamunkey stays out of the fight) meaning that any potential reinforcements would run out of resources quick and the American colonies are mostly on their own.
This is a discussion thread for ideas for a potential TL, so y'all discuss.
