Thank you for your patronage!
my home state is north Carolina and there was a lot animosity between west and eastern parts of the state. much of this stated from before the pov
And indeed, we see some of that in the Southern Civil War. The Coast favored the slavers but the west favored the crown.
that's why the capitol is in the center (Raleigh) possible alternates can be Hillsborough or Raleigh or the insignificant at the time Durham compromise maybe? Siler city though might be more centered with the states new shape.
The British prefer to keep the Provincial Capitols, where possible, accessible by sea. They're also a bit traditional, so they have kept the old seaport capitals.
but it was a big problem with the wealthy on the cost and the majority in the center there was a quasi war into the early 1820's ca using most of the counties we currently have for better representation but then again the capitol was the city the Governor was in usually New Bern or Hillsborough.
Overall same issues apply, and in fact were issues in the Southern Civil War.
Also my high school was Durham School of the Arts (DSA)
How delightful!
on a sad note cowboy can't exists with out the hostile Indians in otl OK.
Oh, there are still plenty of hostile Indians out there!
arbut we still can have the boon like and outlaws and wild Indians but less influences of the cattle
.
Somewhat, but not as much as you think!
with a smaller Spanish influences in the us i wanted to know what we called tornadoes, lassos, chill, tomatoes,and the such?
DSA - USA
tornado = twister
lasso = loop or loose (contraction of long noose)
chili? = chili (comes up from Mexico)
tomato = tomato (comes up from Mexico)
So some words, especially for clear imports, still make their way to US English. Others manage to stay more English based.
the maps shows the us having internal Alaska
Not certain what you mean by internal Alaska. We have coastal Alaska south of the 60th parallel.
if this is so what about a Louisiana purchase happening with us wanting a coastal access point and receiving an offer too good to resist?
Time will tell.
also in otl the south's "good land"was mostly taken. hence the push to spread slavery i am unsure about how much land is left but the region will not like too much the idea of new comers for land
Some land was freed up after the Slaver Uprising, and some by the opening up of west Arkansas, Texas, and British California (also Cuba a bit).
but might be more will for laborers maybe leaing to the dynamic of Atlanta Georgia or little rock Arkansas.
Interesting thought - what did you have in mind?
sorry if its long but i read this in about a week so it is hard to till what is dead.
That's some reading!
also sorry for the spelling that's a never ending battle
Use the spellcheck, Luke. Use the spellcheck!
last minute idea if the us felt threatened it just might build rrs to help with logistics but that might be getting ahead of my self.
Not really.
