...or three, or maybe even four?
Not sure what the casus belli would be so I tagged on an 'AHC', however I'm more interested in the effects than the cause.
What if a successful American revolution occurred anytime between 1700 and 1760? Possibly whilst England (or Great Britain) is distracted in a war closer to home?
What might it look like? Who would be the potential players? What sort of government might arise? How would it fare, etc.?
One stipulation: While more than the thirteen colonies can be involved, no fewer than, say, twelve of OTL's thirteen colonies must be present.* In other words, it has to closely resemble the constituent states of our Revolution.
Bonus points if the fathers or grandfathers of our own timeline's founding fathers distinguish themselves militarily, politically, or otherwise.
Ideas?
*Edit: I'm aware than the colonies didn't identically resemble the ones from later in the century, but you know what I mean. This is to prevent a New England Commonwealth from rebelling without Virginia or New York being involved. Must be very similar to the colonies of OTL's revolution in the seventies...
