Discussion: American Revolution

So I have two questions about the American Revolution:
  1. What is the earliest possible American Revolution that would lead eventually lead to the same result and government?
  2. What is the maximum possible extent of the government of the United States?
    • Could this US acquire additional British territory?
 
There would be no ARW before the French Indian War as the colonies had nothing to link them together until the taxes imposed on them following the war. There was also no obvious military leader before Washington either, so at best it would be individual colonies rebelling but this wouldn't lead to the creation of the US as we know it.

The best outcome would be that the colonies also look Florida (which was British after the Seven Year War).

The ARW started in OTL at the earliest it could and actually achieved everything the rebels wanted, not sure that it could really be improved.
