Suppose that, for whatever reason, the Americans win the revolutionary war but decide not to join into a single unified nation.
There would need to be some changes to establish exactly how the union dissolves. In the first place, they probably need British Canada to be less threatening than they were IOTL, and in the second it requires that uniting influences be weakened.

Would Napoleon still rise in France, or might the whole revolution be butterflied away? Would Mexico finally have its time in the sun?
