For a long time i have been trying to figure out a POD that would have Britain keep control of north and south carolina, georgia and Florida west to french louisana instead of canada. Basically it would make britain carbiean focused and make slavery much less of an issue for the US.Also it would change expansion for both the US and British North America.

My main POD's right now are

A collaspe of the Hudson Bay company and the fur trade around 1700- 1720 making Canada less populated and the canadains provinces then being tied into the 13 colonies.

No 1774 Quebec act and a harsher anti french governer supporting the revolution at least leading to Canada siding with the American's

A stronger Spanish threat to the south meaning larger regular troop strength to the south and more of a reason for the south to want to stay in the union.

I have also thought about removing France as a colonial power but i think that would be alot of butterflies and take me farther away from the timeline i want to do.

I want to know how orginal and pausible this idea seems and suggestion for the POD
