Following the election of 1796, the territory of the United States beyond the Appalachian Mountain secedes from the Union due to their distrust of the Federalists just elected to power in the form of John Adams. Thomas Jefferson, having similar values and a similar distrust, leaves the US to help the new republic fight for its independence, and due to the US's general weakness and relative inability to move massive armies across the mountains, as well as the inability to blockade New Orleans as it was Spanish, the US fails to prevent it. Thomas Jefferson is named as the Republic’s first president and he institutes as similar Constitution to that of the US. Because of the lack of opposition from the Anti-federalists (who fled to the Western States with Jefferson), Alexander Hamilton is elected President in 1800 rather than Jefferson and breaks the precedent of 2 terms. He does however grow the nation’s strength and helps the Eastern States, as the former USA was renamed, gain all British lands south of the St. Lawrence.
Thanks to these events, Jefferson never changes his position on territorial expansion, so he never buys Louisiana, and because of the immediate American presence, the Spanish refuse to purchase it, leaving the only option for the French as to make it an independent nation, called French America in 1805. Following years of struggle with tribes in the region, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton (both trying to gain alliance with the new country for their respective nations) help it establish a government similar to pre-split America.
With the developments of the two American republics and the French republic, Spain moves to bolster its influence in Spanish North America. It even attempts to move the empire’s capital to Mexico City in 1807, but due to the Napoleonic Wars, it instead bolsters its influence in Europe. Toussaint L'Ouverture, now able to live in a slave-free republic and not needing to lead the Haitian rebellion, as Haiti and all other New World colonies of the French were incorporated into the French North American Republic, instead leads campaigns into Mexico, with Napoleon's financial and even limited military support. Eventually, when Napoleon is dethroned as the Emperor of France, L'Ouverture is forced to withdraw from Mexico. Facing severe economic damages in the homeland, Spain is unable to support Mexico and its other American holdings, and instead grants them independence. Hamilton and Andrew Jackson, both of whom are at odds with each other and are presidents of their respective nations, as well as L’Ouverture, who is president of the FNAR, assist the new nation to become a republic and gains heavy influence from the wealthy ESA as well as the militarily powerful FNAR. Despite his attempts to go in and just take the territory for himself, L'Ouverture is forced to allow the SNAR to have its own independence in 1811 by the Americans Republics.
As in our timeline, the push for independence in Texas starts the Texas Revolution, which begins much earlier than in our timeline, in 1814. While FNAR supports SNAR in keeping Texas, both ESA and WSA voice their support for Texan independence, leading to the split between WSA and FNAR and the formation of a connection between ESA and WSA. Texas eventually does win its independence in 1816, thanks to the efforts of the superior American Republics.
The revolutions in Upper Canada and Lower Canada in 1837 are a resounding success thanks to assistance from the neighboring FNAR and WSA. First, with victory in Upper Canada, the rebels strike a deal with the hilariously-tiny and self-proclaimed Republic of Canada, based on Navy Island, to unite as the United Republic of Canada. Later that year, they send monetary and military support to aid the rebellion in Lower Canada, helping them achieve liberty and allow them to join with the URC. They eventually spread to the West Coast and purchase Alaska from Russia. In 1868, they go to war with SNAR over the California territories, in which ESA and WSA join their cause, while FNAR sides with SNAR. A brief but bloody war ensues in California, as well as along the Mississippi, but eventually URC, ESA, and WSA come out victorious. FNAR cedes its lands north of 36* 30”, as well as New Orleans, to WSA while SNAR grants its territory north of the same line to URC. WSA opens the port of New Orleans to ESA and URC. The three nations create the North American League, a UN-style organization for the nations, headquartered in New Orleans, in 1870, and invite FNAR and SNAR to join, which both do.
In 1902, WSA grants their territory north of 40* but south of URC territory to ESA as to allow them to have access to the Pacific, where the two begin joint military operations to explore the Pacific Ocean. They eventually reach Hawaii, where the two nations debate over who should own the island. Being that they can't decide, they pose it to the North American League, which decides for it to be a protectorate of the League until the islanders make a final decision. The islanders decide to remain an independent nation, writing a formal constitution under the eye of the League, creating a democratic monarchy, and following the Treaty of Recognition in 1909, in which Hawaii became a recognized nation of all five permanent members of the League, as well as lesser members (nations of Central America that had been granted their independence over time), Hawaii joined the North American League as its 12th member state (ESA, WSA, FNAR, SNAR, Free Texas, URC, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Panama (united Costa Rica and Panama), Cuba (Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas), Hispaniola (Haiti, which broke away from FNAR following L'Ouverture's death in 1817, and Dominican Republic), and Hawaii).

Is this a one-shot? If it is then it should go in the One-shot scenarios thread

Also, this is ASB as fuck.
 
French North America would suffer the same fate as Mexican Texas, only worse, because it's even closer to the US. Not to mention, basically no one lived outside of New Orleans because French North America was basically nothing but a scattered network of trading posts along the rivers. You'd have to set the POD pre-1600 to ever make French North America a viable nation.

And why would France make it an independent nation? Canada wasn't independent in 1805 OTL, and it had vastly higher amounts of people. Not to mention about 99% of the population lives in Haiti. And I definitely don't think the people of this hypothetical "Western States" are going to treat the idea of Haitian former slaves flooding the frontier with much kindness.

Toussaint L'Ouverture as president is just no, no. Haiti would ALWAYS be governed separately, because it was fundamentally so different than French North America in terms of population, economy, everything.

Spanish North America could never be one country in that era, the regional differences were already set in stone, plus the transportation network at land and sea was utterly horrible. Nor would the king of Spain just up and grant his colonies independence for no reason.

Why would Texas get independence when in the early 1800s before Americans moved in it was a collection of half-abandoned villages and a few forts/missions at the mercy of Comanche? Plus the Americans have to tear through French North America first before they can tear Texas off.

tl;dr = ASB
 
While I certainly like the idea of Canada being the big dog in North America, I don't understand why the two United States would help Canada secure almost 2/3rds of the continent during the California War. It seems like the land that they'd acquire would make the eventual North American League look more unequal than the North German Confederation.

A question (not a concern) about the American Civil War. It seems to be butterflied away, but how did the North and South resolve their differences? Were they just too afraid of the neighbors to risk it?
