A New England Confederation is perfectly viable and relatively powerful entity, and some of the mid-Atlantic states like New York or even Pennsylvania might join due to the power of the slave states in the rump US.First, Rhode Island and Delaware and their likes wouldn't have that much power outside of the Union anyway. The larger states could have said "take it or leave it" with regard to the Virginia plan, and if some of the small states left, it would look very bad--for the small states!
