but they are hungry not been paid. How long they stay around? Also I never said Quebec bolt right away. The various former colonies not gavevthe hard part of negotiations which could take 2-3 years and then ratification. Anything can happen. Therefore realistically the continental army would of been disbanded immediately no threat to it.
I also find it very surprising that the country built on liberating its people goes about invading and occupying Quebec leading to atrocities. That not happen.
Not long - they'll probably be disbanded a couple months in - but nonetheless, they are still around at the moment. Remember, the time in between the peace and a potential Constitution has not happened yet, which means that anything is possible.
Also, if you're saying America doesn't invade people for territorial gain, think again.
