So as we all know the American civil war 1861-1863, was won by the rebelling southern slave states in order to preserve their institution. This led to the anarchic period in US history 1863-1895, where both the remnant USA and the newly Independent CSA both collapsed into many nations. By 1875 as dozen nations inhabited the land were there once was one. These new nations found themselves bullied and in some cases encroached upon by foreign powers. But this changed in 1885, when Britain sent a small fleet and army to New York over unpaid debts during the nations debt crisis as part of their gunboat diplomacy. This backfired as they were defeated in the battle of Long Island by the New Yorkers, who were led by Theodore Roosevelt. This started the series of events and wars that led to him eventually reuniting the USA a decade later and becoming the 21st President.

So WI, the USA never reunited. Say the Battle of Long island was lost by the New Yorkers or Roosevelt never had the will to try and reunite the old nation?

How would a American-less world look like today in 2019?
