How would Great Britain's north american colonies react to a restoration of the jacobites to the kingdom's throne, and how would the new jacobite monarchy react to the colonies? Could the hanoverians end up fleeing to North America and claiming the throne from there? Would the jacobites decide to intervene militarily in the region, perhaps in the form of a naval invasion? What are the effects on catholics living in the colonies?
I posit two scenarios: one where the jacobites are restored in the period between 1708 (when the french and spanish planned an invasion of England alongside the jacobites but didn't do it) and 1715, and another when they are restored in the period of the Austrian Succession War (France's planned invasion in 1744 and the jacobite uprising of 1745).
