Alternate History Challenge: Divided States of America?

Your challenge, if you chose to accept it, is to have the United States fall appart as a nation. Sound easy? Well, there are some catches. First, the POD has to be after the Treaty of Paris in 1783, ending the Revolutionary War. Second, the United States has to fall apart before 1810-1815. I'm pretty much looking for a US which falls appart due to the AoC failing and the nations going their own seperate ways by the time mentioned above. You are allowed to have unions between some states, such as N&S Carolina ect...but there should be about 8-13 nations (former states) coming out of the collapsed USA.

There you have it. Let your imaginations run wild and try to be as detailed as possible (but no ASBs please...try to make this as realistic as possible) Remember, with a divided USA, the "nations" that have land claims in the old northwest, might just attack each other over them! :)

Looking forward to your ideas. :D
 
True...but some parts of that TL (especially some of the borders) are a bit unplausable and ASB...

Would it be posible to eventually have some states outright hating each other and going to war often?
 
A variation of Decades of Darkness could do this well. New England leaves early on in the timeline and large parts of the Union's western territory is taken to make an Indian Confederation.
