Fragmented US after Revolution

Paul Spring

I'll admit that I had no idea that the Netherlands had a settlement on New Guinea in the 17th century - I didn't think that any European power had any effective claim there until the 19th century (the Spanish had claimed it back in the 16th century, but they never had any outposts there and the claim was effectively null.)

Here's a slightly modified map.

Claims

Looking at your previous postings of this TL, I think youre werstern divisons are very implausible.

Here are the actual claims of the land west of Appalachians before the Louisiana purchase:

Map 1, Actual Claims

Here is how you divided them:

Map Two, the divisions in version 5 of the ATL

there very different. To correct this I think we should look at the claims map. There you can see that Conneticut had a claim running near the southern Tips of the Great Lakes. Thats a possible border, or perhaps if the Southern States demand a border on the Grat Lakes give the north OTL Michigan and Wisconsin. Its your coice of course.

1870 - Northwestern provinces of state of Virginia, ISA, angry at the stranglehold that the tidewater elite continue to have in state politics, declare independence from Virginia and apply to join the USA. There is some fighting, but no general war. The new US state is called Vandalia.

Is this present-day Northern Virginia?

Go with Three Nations

Here is an idea. Go back to having the colonies become three different nations. Two represents the opposite extreme of each other and the third represent moderation.

New England and New York become the Republic of N.E. (Extreme Side #1)

The Carolinas, and Georgia become the Republic of Carolina (Extreme Side #2)

Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and N.J. reform as the Allied States of America. They keep the Great Lakes Territory, get part/most of Northern Louisiana Territory, act as a miniture OTL USA, and they represent political moderation.

Still that is just my suggestion. Good Job so far!!:)
 

Youdontwanttoknow

Although as far as I can see this is a ressurected thread, I invite you all to look at my TL.... I have done Chapter Two, which deals with the Ohio War between Virginia and the Federal Republic of America (Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey). Chapter Three should be up sometime in the new few days, all things going well.

I plan on having this continue all the way up until the present day.

Would love to hear your comments.
