For Want of a Governor - A American Canada TL

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.

Listen it seems that you already made up your mind on the outcome of the war and how the TL happens. I once mAde that mistake and realized the butterflies will occur and to attempt magically make things happen makes the TL weak. I and several others have tried to help and provide helpful assistance and information but everything we state you disregard and steam roll ahead. So that I not get frustrated it’s better I walk away and wish you the best.

there's a lot to be frustrated about on all sides. I see a lot of TL's derailed by folks insisting on correcting implausible, but possible, scenarios. I see a lot of implausible, bordering on fantasy, but possible scenarios. Sometimes it is best to sit back and enjoy the ride (or unsubscribe). If I can ignore the unlikely specter of Brits landing in Ruperts Land (where?) in the winter, then trekking across untamed (by whites) land, surely you can ignore the French-Canadians being gung-ho participants. :p Sometimes a little hand wavium is good medicine. I applaud your efforts to disengage. My apologies for dragging you back into it.

Now on with the show. Let's see where it goes.
 
I love how he is called when ever there is American wank going around.
He seems to be one of the top pro-Canadian pride posters around here. He's even argued that the USA joining the Central Powers in WW1 wouldn't immediately result in Canada being conquered in ~6 months tops and a crushing CP victory.

Some one has tor try to keep us Americans humble.

let's be fair, here. There is a great deal of US can do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, around here, a lot of hubris that is very insulting.
I'll have to hie myself over to the post 1900 section and see that scenario argued. depending on when the US entered, I'd be inclined to agree with him to an extent. The US was far from a military juggernaut at that time.

but let's it lay, and get back to the show.

The USA was basically an "I win" button for any major European factional war after 1880. It would take us ~6-7 months to gear up properly, and a year on top of that to properly gain experience, but our industrial might and isolation (plus the fact that Canada has a tiny population and everything important in Canada is within easy reach of the US National Guard branches in the northern states) mean that the US joining the Central Powers basically at any point in WW1 virtually guarantees a CP victory. Unless, like, China joined the Entente and started shipping men across Siberia to aid Russia or something.

Ruperts Land in the 1770's is a wild and untamed land. The only way to get from York Factory to Quebec was by canoe. Any army landing there isn't going anywhere. In any event the Royal Navy controls the approaches to the St Lawrence River. All they have to do is wait until the ice melts and head up river and blast those traitorous rebel scum out of Quebec City.:evilsmile:

As for the Quebecois rising up in support of the Puritan invasion. Good luck with that! The southern colonies have been attacking New France since the early 1600's with many frontier atrocities being committed by both sides and their native allies. By 1750 France had pretty much abandoned their NA colony and if New France could not be an independent nation, protection under the British Crown was the next best thing. There was zero trust between the Quebecois and the southerners.
