Okay, say that the British don't negotiate a Metis protectorate and refund the Canadian money that the government gave the HBC. How would the western Coast of North America develop? I mean the USA just finished a bloody civil war and wasn't in a position to leap on either Canada or Manitoba right away, so please don't say "OMG USwank!!1". But what if Louis Riel had been slightly touched in the head or something, and wasn't the leader that got this result. Would Quebec leave Canada if it had been even more the minority?

My computer isn't working so much, so I can't post the map I made to show you guys what I thought, but I'll sort of describe it to you. I thought the Empire of Mexico would have a longer border with the Californian Republic, and that the Russians may not even have Alaska in TTL, as the British would buy it (or maybe the Californians, all that Gold).

What does anyone else think of this?
