POD-1628 Quebec and Acadia are annexed from France to England when Charles I rejects his French counterparts offer to pay his wife's dowry in exchange for the return of France's North American possessions.

In 1630 Charles I charters the Great Lakes Company, who's charter provisions for the exploration of the interior(north-west passage), trade with the natives(fur trade), and too establish settlements where it is advantageous too do so.

OKay so I'm thinking this culture will develop completely independent(culturally and economically)from those located on the eastern seaboard, though there could be similarities(with New England in particular).

So the stage is set for two distinct English speaking societies on the North American continent. The lack of a French presence means no French-Indian Wars and no imperial involvement resulting from aforementioned conflicts.

Thoughts?
