Hi all,
I'm looking for ideas regarding how an alternate US Civil War could erupt and play out in an alternate USA, given:
-Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Canada (now called Franklin) joined the US Revolution from the beginning due in part to the Quebec Act
-the War of 1812 gained Rupert's Land for the US and the Bahamas
-US now includes Cuba as a territory bought in 1848, and includes Yucatan, Republic of Rio Grande, and most of northern Mexico due to the Mexican-American War.
My question would be, how do you think the sectionalism would evolve? Would any of this new territory become part of the Confederacy? How would the war play out and conclude? Any particular consequences that you could see for the nation?
My only caveat would be that the Confederacy does lose and the states rejoin the nation, and Cuba eventually does become a state.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
