As we all know, Prince Henry of Prussia was crowned Emperor (or as the Americans call their monarch "Caesar") of the United States in 1787 with George Washington as the first Prime Minister of said American Empire under a new constitution, but what if the plan to make Prince Henry of Prussia the monarch of America didn't go through and we didn't get the Empire of the United States of America or the "Empire of Liberty"? What would an American Republic look like if a new republican constitution had been created? How would this have affected the rest of the world?

I believe they would try to go on a catastrophic invasion of Vietnam annexed by the Qing Dynasty of China in a vain attempt to liberate the Kinh from their brutal Chinese oppressors, which would end disastrously and end in the vassalization of the American ally Champa, known simply as South Vietnam to most American soldiers, by the Chinese.
That's a good question, but I do have one thing on my mind: would it have taken until 1890 to end slavery in this country? Henry IV, unfortunately, was all too willing to compromise with the slavers on this issue when it was a big thing of discussion back in the 1850s, to save his own ass(especially as a number of Prussian and Austrian nobility-most of them in America proper but a few elsewhere as well-had benefitted from the slave trade for over half a century, which only ended in the later 1860s after the Revolutions of 1861 wreaked havoc on much of Central and Eastern Europe. Of course, there is a reason Prussia ceased to exist as an independent nation after 11 Feb., 1874.). Somehow, I doubt a republican America would have had quite that many problems.
At least Frederick II, the (relatively, at least) good Caesar that he was, actually cooperated with the abolitionists when his father Henry wouldn't.(Though the assassination of Prime Minister McKenzie in 1894 was a terrible loss for this country, indeed).
