In a game of Victoria 2, I added the Maritime provinces and New York State minus NYC, to a seceded New England. Now I am wondering about the actual plausibilityWhat would be the affects of Yankee Puritans expanding earlier into Canada, especially New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. With greater settlement, would those areas have seceded with the U.S.? Could an earlier spread of Yankee colonists into New England necessitated a split from New York. How else could there have been a larger New England. Could the entire world be Yankee? Or at least ruled by them?
