What if the conservative Restauration powers after the Napoleonic Wars decided to fight the idea of Liberalism, Democracy and Rebublicanism even in North America ( they need to be more radical and united). Even though the Thirteen Colonies had been helped by Englands enemies in the ARW, they didn' t support the ideal of democracy/Rebublicanism itself. A Spanish ambassador in the 1780 wrote that the backing of the revolutionaries could have been a mistake, he forsaw the independent thirteen colonies would eventually becoming a ,giant' and a threat with all the land to explore and to claim. What if the conservative monarchies of Europe and England tried to crackdown not only on liberalism in Europe ( like the post-Napoleon Bourbon French war against Spanish liberals for example) and Latin American independence movements but also try to conquer North America and replacing the young democracy of the United States ? Maybe they see them as an inspiration fountain for liberal ideas in their own sphere of interest and want to eradicate the only existing example of a liberal republic.
