I'm trying to write a TL in which the Constitutional Convention of 1787 fails, resulting in several independent and competing North American countries, rather than a United States. I plan to also focus on Europe and the rest of the world at points, seeing how the butterflies happen.
Yes, I know this has been done before, but I find it very intriguing. (I was partly inspired by Youdontwanttoknow's thread a few years ago, but I'm trying to avoid being too derivative.)
If anyone has any tips, feedback, or suggestions, please post them here. I'm new to writing (but not reading) AH, and I can use the help!
Right now, I need to figure out a POD, and knowledge of the rivalries between the states in 1787. (For instance, which ones were likely to join others, and which weren't?)
Thanks!
