??? The one time it was tried (admittedly including New York), it was a disaster. And that didn't dissolve the individual colonies, just created a confederation.The challenge is to make the New England region, specifically what is now the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, into one single American state. How will this effect the U.S. later in time?
Not ASB, but it would require a much greater willingness to overpower colonial opposition. The Dominion was so wildly unpopular in the colonies that it was overthrown by popular riots as soon as they heard of the Glorious Revolution; with King William eager to get British money for his continental wars, he quickly ratified its demise. Keeping the Dominion, I think, would require either a much, much, much more politic governor; or a far different King William.Maybe if William III's government decided to keep the Dominion of New England together - or most of it anyway.
Even OTL, Maine and Plymouth did not regain separate governments, but were left under MA, so it's not ASB that other colonies might have met the same fate..
