There was a real possibility of the Lower South, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, in the ARW being a Dominion of the UK, what do you think the effects would be if that had happened?

It'd be interesting. It's probably butterfly away Manifest Destiny and westward expansion would probably stop at the Mississippi.
Spain may well hold on to Florida in this TL too, though I could still somehow see Andrew Jackson leading a filibuster into the region.
Slavery would basiclly be on Britain's shoulders to resolve. Depending on how they do it, could very well lead to another revolution instead of a civil war.
If Great Britain retains the Lower South after the 1770's it might also retain East & West Florida as well. The Floridas plus the Bahamas could easily become part of this Dominion Regarding Jackson, I see butterflies that result in him being a great General who, along with thousands of brave Dominion soldiers won key victories against French forces during the Napoleonic Wars.
I wouldn't be too sure about M.D. and Dominion expansion ending at the Mississippi. Perhaps France would be forced to part with it at the Congress of Vienna (or its TTL counterpart), presuming events in Europe unfold much as they did in OTL.
