DBWI/AHC: No Breakup of America.

As it says on the can-Can we prevent the United States from breaking apart into it's successor states of New England, the F.S.A., the Southern American Confederation, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, after the failure to ratify the proposed Constitution in 1787?

OOC: Should note, by the way, that Virginia no longer exists as a separate nation, with the exception of their former Virgin Islands, Caymans, and Bahamian colonies, that live on as a successor state of it's own. All of the other countries are democratic republics as well, to varying extents, with perhaps the freest press, and the most secularism in New England, the F.S.A.(which also includes Cuba and the southern half of Florida, as well as everything west to the Continental Divide) with the most industry, and the S.A.C. being a somewhat socially conservative country that only ended slavery in 1915/16, after the economic collapse following the intervention in Virginia's civil war.

The F.S.A. in particular has decent relations with most of the other North American states, such as the Republic of Texas, Pacifica, Canada, and Mexico.

I'm thinking of a series of compromises to satisfy both the large and small states.

OOC: Is the ATL version of US Constitution different from its OTL counterpart?

OOC: I honestly hadn't thought of any specifics, TBH.....but maybe Roger Sherman's compromise isn't made, for starters? There could also be other problems as well.
 
*Bumped!*

Also, another thing to comtemplate: had the United States stayed together, what might have become of Canada? Would it have remained in one piece, or might it have been swallowed by this new nation at some point?

OOC: Canada is a republican state in this world......albeit under a system much like Westminster, but I've yet to decide whether or not Canada stretches all the way west to Alaska and the Yukon(or at least the latter), or if it's just to the core of the Hudson Bay area(from 89 degrees West, going east, or thereabouts) and western Ontario, namely, Thunder Bay.
