So, we know that British Loyalists migrated rather steadily in the wake of the American Revolutionary War to Canada, where they made a major impact on the demographics of the formerly Francophone region. This was largely because of their departures or expulsions from the 13 Colonies. In a situation where the American Patriots are defeated, their properties seized, etc... where do the Patriots and their families go?

Would it be to New France, aka Louisiana? And how would that work out with the likes of an alternate French Revolution brought on by the costs of this failed ARW? Would these Americans turned Louisianians adopt themselves as a sister republic, try and establish some sort of democratic regency for the Bourbons to avoid the British turning guns on them again? Would they go even further west to the likes of Spanish America, intermixing with either the Spanish elite or the native masses to create a new element of the caste system? Migrate down to Brazil ala the Confederados, contributing to their economy and governance?
