Pensacola is the capital of West Florida as 2020, and I'd assume it'd be the same in colonial times when it was still a British colony. Good question though, I might flash forward and make a few "present day" (no spoilers, of course) infoboxes that shed light on what the Commonwealth of America will evolve into. I plan to take this through 2020.Is Mobile or Pensacola the capital of West Florida?
oh no its Lafayette!
nah just kidding we all know who it is.
That’s an oversight, will correct in a bit.Article VII
Section I: The ratification of the conventions of thirteen provinces, shall be sufficient for the establishment of this constitution between the provinces so ratifying the same.
So when it say 13 provinces, does this mean that Florida and Canada were not part of this?
After reviewing the last chapter and cleaning up small errors (a few instances where I mentioned the United States instead of Commonwealth, etc), I actually realized I misread your question. In OTL, it took nine of the thirteen states to ratify the Constitution. As Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Cape Breton Island are all provinces of the newly minted Commonwealth, so it'd take 11 out of 17 provinces.Article VII

The Governor-General would represent the King, so there’s no need for another crossing.As a reminder, at this point (1785) Franklin may be the oldest man in the Colonies. If he has to get on a ship to be approved by the King, he may be coming home in a box.
