After the success of the American Revolution, the British was forced to portions of the southwest of the Province of Quebec (including the Great Lakes) to the Americans (which became the Northwest Territory) and a influx of exiled Loyalists from the now-independent US created a substantial Protestant presence in Quebec.

With that being said, what kind of impact would the failure of the American Revolution have on Canadian history, culture, etc?

Since the American Revolution has so many PODs, I am making this a multiple choice

My points of divergence are:

  • The Patriots are unable to retreat from the disastrous Battle of Long Island, leading to the capture of George Washington.
  • Patrick Ferguson shoots and kills George Washington
  • Benedict Arnold either loses or is not present at the Battle of Saratoga, causing it to end in a Patriot defeat, convincing France to not aid the Patriots
  • The Royal Navy defeats the French fleet that IOTL, prevented them from reinforcing Cornwallis at Yorktown
  • After the Treaty of Paris is signed, something happens that prevents the US from forming as a country (The Articles of Confederation are kept, the Newburgh Conspiracy takes place, etc)

If you want, you can pick your own PODs.
