Maine still part of Massachusetts

What would the state(s) be like today? What might keep the states united?
No Missouri Compromise ...

Either Slavery Died in Colonial Times, or The Issue was Settled Some Other Way ...

Today Boston would be Even MORE of a Regional Center than it is in OTL, Although this would be Dependant on The Exact Particulars of The Divergence!

:p
 
If they were the same state again, it would affect elections. They would share electoral votes, likely having some influence on America's closest elections.

The spit is logical to me the states aren't even connected. It doesn't matter though with the US states have some really illogical borders. Just look at Michigan.

Well, Originally it wasn't Split ...

Massachusetts' Colonial Northern Border used to Run along The Merrimack River ...

Just Check Jasen's Map from The Parliamentary US Thread, The WHOLE New England Coastline is Still Very Much Alike!

:eek:
 
Wait... aren't most State boundaries illogical? ;):p

All those straight lines...
*Shudders* We really need to convince the Feds to have one of us re-draw those borders. As Spock would say

More states like Colorado and Wyoming.
In all my maps I take great pleasure in destroying straight-line borders. Damn unnatural things.

(By the way, I know that's kinda hypocritical coming from an Australian, but in my defence I live in the state with the squiggliest border)
