How plausible is this POD?

Canada gets captured durning the Rev War, it rebells (with help from Britain and France) in the 1820's it wins and frees itself from the US and takes an significant chunk of it with them.
Thoughts and questions?
Always up for constructive criticism.
 
Might just work, if you tie it into New England separatism, though you'd need some kind of trigger (what the War of 1812 was IRL) to set it off...
 
What do you mean by "Canada"? Pre-1774 Quebec? Post-1774 Quebec? Nova Scotia & St. John Island? The sparsely populated area that later became Southern Ontario & Michigan in OTL?
 
Chunck away!

Sounds like a good idea. I'm curious to what those significant chuncks of the US are going to be. Good luck!

Ah, when you say it gets "captured" you mean that the US armies occupy it during the ARW ? My one problem with this, is that wouldn't the US's French allies want Quebec back ?

The 1820s part looks fine, though I'm a bit questioning on Britain and France working together to free Canada from the Americans - tho I guess you could manufacture a reason for this that would make sense in the timeline

Lots of butterflies there, since the troops and supplies used to capture and occupy Quebec aren't being used elsewhere. It's possible that capturing Canada is actually not a good idea because it weakens other American efforts to the point where the British can actually win.

Even if successful, wouldn't France want to regain its former territory as payback for aiding the colonists? And if so, is there a follow-on effect during the French Revolution?

I don't think So.
If the Colonies had taken [&held] t Quebec in the ARW, Britian would have abandoned Canada & the Maritimes. France had already agreed to the Colonists taking Quebec.
By the 1820's Immigration and Migration Patterns mean the parts of Canada would consider themselves fully Americans.

However with out the War of 1812, Sectionalism could be a stranger force in American Politics.

Tensions in the South over Tariffs & Nullification, Tensions in the West over French Louisiana & the Mississippi. [No French Sale]
Tensions between NY,& New England [Includes OTL Maritimes] over the Erie Canal/St Lawrence. Tension with Quebec over Anglos dominating Quebec's Politics.
Tension with Britain over Trade and never resolved ARW issues. [No Jay Treaty 1795].

The Right Spark, And the US Implodes.

What became Upper and Lower Canada, not the maritimes.

And the chunks maybe the entire area around the great lakes?
