but the south remains under British rule. is this ASB or possible, and what would have the reprecussions been?
 
It doesn't seem impossible, the South was the last part of the country to fall and had a fairly large Loyalist base- then again, so did New York...

Does the new country still have the Old Northwest, I wonder? I suppose it depends on what POD we use and such.

It could be interesting, let's say all South of Virginia stay English and Canada in the North. The loyalist would move to the south, while the Qubeckians would be free to colonise Ontario. So the result would be English speaking Dominion in the South, and a French speaking Dominion in the North.
 
It would be interesting tho. The South was the first to rise in rebellion and had a longer history of chaffing under British rule.

There would be some sort of political reform and local governance approved by Westminister.

It would be more interesting if Canada either went to the USA, became another independent republic, or went back to the French. A Britain more centered in the Caribbean would act like the evil expansionist Confeds of so many TLs.
 
Without the Population and Industry of the northern region, the southern provinces would have been perpetually causing trouble for the realm ala Ireland. Britain needed the northern pressure on the South to keep them in line. So, personally, I think within a very short time I believe that the South would be either annexed to the north, or would become a nation in it's own right with the support of the North.

This seems to have been the British idea, and it's a clever one.

Might end up with a USA which frees its slaves in the early 1800s. Hrmm.
