Following Washington's defeat in New York (and the failure of the Staten Island Peace Conference), the Founding Fathers decide that the patriot cause is lost and decide to follow a suggestion by Aaron Burr to follow Washington into the West, and therefore down into Texas, where they are quietly welcomed by Spanish emissaries.
There they would remain, while sparodic uprisings continued in the Northeast while the Southern colonies secretly supported them while officially proclaiming their loyalty to the Crown.
Washington helps to inspire a revolt in Mexico, where a provisional Continental Congress is established. While the Spanish are naturally uneasy about this, they are privately happy to have a possible bulwark against British expansion into the Southwest.
Following Washington's death, this provisional government elects Thomas Jefferson as its President. Since the original Revolution, copies of his Constitution have been circulating illegally in the East, and by 1810 another uprising seems inevitable. By now, the British are too involved in the Napoleonic Wars to be able to send large numbers of troops to the colonies; with support from Napoleonic France the "Second American Revolution" begins and succeeds in overthrowing the British in New York and "Georgetown" on the Potamac. The war ends in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent.
This is just a rough outline of a later American Revolution. Comments and thoughts are welcome!
