What I mean by less North American, I mean more corruption and more poverty. In other words more down-trodden and not at the least bit un-industralized.
When would the POD be?

Clearly they have to be administrated by the Spanish. And stay catholic, that's important too. More mixed cultures with native influences are obviously a must. France and Portugal are okay if Spain is busy elsewhere.
(More seriously: I suspect a defeat in the ARW could lead to such a situation as they now have those rebellious colonies which tried to get independence and so as punishment the crown will probably enact even more mercantilist policies, and with tory imposed governments which will probably end up not being very favourable to the dismantling of slavery - that or a multiple ways ACW where the union falls apart).
But I thought it was the consensus on the Latin America thread!You damn racist.![]()
I agree.
You damn racist.
I agree.
Britain shudders at 1066, but is South America more affected by General Whitelock than by the antics of Pizarro?
I always thought Paraguay's attempts at empire were a home-grown idea. British investment in Argentina only started to take off in the meat plus railways era. Controversial, I agree.
And you'll find I dislike 'wanks' - survival and development, yes, but generally by hard work and with occasional defeats. That's life.
In general that one of the reason why i hate so much the Brito/american wank, they ignore more of the true problem of my contient(the british economical imperialism who is zenith was the War of Triple Alliance against a Paraguay who start to become: a dangerous model in the world)

The USA breaks apart into 3 or 4 separate countries after the American Revolution. There is fighting between them over disputed borders west of the Mississippi, causing bad blood that lasts for generations. None of these nations have the resources to purchase Louisiana from France, and Britain ends up taking much of the Louisiana territory, while the southern part (roughly OTL Louisiana and Arkansas) becomes an independent Republic. The various Anglophone republics and Louisiana fight several wars during the rest of the 19th century, against each other, Britain, and Mexico. Their smaller size and more militarized nature make them less economically prosperous and attractive to immigrants than the USA of OTL. Most of what would be the USA west of the Mississippi in OTL ends up as part of the British colonies of Missouri, Oregon, remains as part of Mexico, or becomes part of an independent California under heavy British and Mexican influence.
By the early 20th century, the several nations of North America have gone almost 30 years without a major war, but they have lots of problems. The earlier wars have left long-standing grudges, and in a couple of the nations, a tradition of military leaders taking very active role in politics. Slavery is still in force in parts of the cotton and rice belt, while politics in the nations further north is increasingly dominated by both class tensions in cities and hostility between protestant natives and Catholic/Orthodox/Jewish new immigrants. The British territories in the north and west are divided into four separate dominions, rather than a single one. Tension is strong in various places between French and English speakers, between descendants of British settlers and descendants of settlers from the ex-USA republics, and between social and religious groups. The Californian Republic has a much more even split in power and wealth between English and Spanish speakers, and relations between the two are not always amicable.
Compared to OTL, Mexico is actually the part of North America that has done better, with more economic development and political stability under the constitutional monarchy that has evolved under the house of Iturbide.
