The Constitutional covention fails, resulting in 13 countries, and thats just for starters.

I have an idea of how it could happen. Native Americans never cross the land bridge and never come to America. The Vikings colonize America connecting the old world to the new by which I mean Europe. Maybe when the templars are defeated in the crusades, they seek to retain the relevance of their order by launching a crusade against the pagan Norsemen.

I admit I'm not as historically astute as many of the people on this board but it would still be cool to think about.

Have Vinland be a bit more successful, becoming a moderately self-sustaining nation covering much of Newfoundland, before getting cut off from their Norse peers and mostly forgotten.

Smallpox and other European diseases reach America early and spread through the population over the next few hundred years. There are mass population dieoffs but the populations recover over the next few hundred years.
Also, some of the natives might learn the seafaring skills of the Vinlanders.

When Columbus comes half a millennium later, there are no mass dieoffs from disease, the natives can resist European colonisation more, and the Americas become an Africa analog, of a land where the natives are oppressed and ruled by overseas powers, but always remain a majority.

Alternatively, could a native farming civilisation exist on the Mississippi, akin to Egypt?

Since "North America" extends down to Columbia, this is OTL, in part.


But, ja. With a PoD of 1700 or 1776 even, you could have the USA fail (AoC not being replaced, as mentioned above), leaving 13 squabbling statelets on the eastern seaboard. Louisiana stays French (culturally), and gains independence eventually. Texas and California are Spanish speaking, but independent from Mexico, Russia keeps Alaska. BC, Rupertsland, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland are political entities independent of each other.

Obsessive cults trek inland and set up microstates....
