Let's Go Fourth: A Matching Set of What-If's Appropriate to American Independence Day

My Fellow Americans, as well as Friends from Beyond the Borders, the Seas, and OTL; I put fourth the
question: a slightly different (enhanced?) America. Imagine it....

Options on offer:

1) The Continental Army wins the Battle of Princeton, but late on Christmas morning, a "Mad Hessian" prisoner manages to rush the general and stab him with an iron tool. Washington suffers gangrene over the course of the next several weeks and loses his left leg all the way to the thigh.

2) Benedict Arnold has an attack of conscience and ultimately decides not to turn the strategic guide to West Point over to Major Andre. Instead, he murders Andre and his wife with his bare hands and insists that he caught them in the act of adultery.

3) Two weeks after his inauguration as the first President of the United States, George Washington slips
on a wharf in New York and drowns in the Harbor. President John Adams takes over.

4) The first approved draft of the Constitution of the United States does not include the "3/5th's Compromise" over slavery but instead imposes a ONE hundred dollar tariff on "the importation of any involuntary servant into the territory of the United States," a twenty dollar tariff on "the transportation of any involuntary servant across state boundaries, including ports," and in addition, in what may be referred to as the "Jefferson Implementation": "No person shall be bound to involuntary servitude, except as punishment for felony, after the year 1825." (Note that these clauses clearly imply the legality of "involuntary servitude," a legal aphorism for slavery at the time).

What say you?
