France already had enough problems with the Napoleonic coup in 1799, look where that got them by 1815. Following the death of His Highness King George III in 1779, His Highness King George IV decided that it would be wiser dealing with angry subjects than happy competitors. The Amnesty Act of 1780 cleared the way for the Trials of Philadelphia in which somehow all but Washington, Adams, and Jefferson were found guilty of treason, Jefferson was released by royal pardon as an act of good faith while Washington and Adams were executed. The remaining 15 defendants served out sentences ranging from exile to hard labor, and Madison eventually was released. The surprising colonial legislature that was permitted afterwards set a precedent, and its capitol at Philadelphia is why the monarchy relocated to Boston - it was the most rebellious city thus the monarchy could keep an eye on it while the Americans had their own capitol complete with its own traditions. Madison's election as the first American Prime Minister was an even more shocking blow but his later memoirs and close relationship to His Highness in later years are even more telling.
All in all the eventual Second American Rebellion regarding the emancipation of slaves was even more bloody, enough so that Napolean III and Charles IX tried their darndest to support it to no avail even resulting in Mexico and Central America falling to the British. Hence why North America is a unified continent today! I think there would be at least a dozen nations out of old Mexico and the American Colonies today had they won their independence, and had the parallel World Wars proceeded as before I'm not sure that the Union Jack would fly on all seven continents as she does today.
