So basically the American intervention is going to have serious consequence. Oops.

1. Fantastic timeline!
2. I wonder how big Colombia's middle class is at this point?
3. You've mentioned that France is stronger than IOTL, do they have a larger population as of 1850? Like, say, 40-50 million?
4. Also, could we get a map of America that includes Mexico, Colombia, and the US?
Bigger Mexico and Colombia means that too, and as a lot of Mexicans and Dominicans will not be going north later on, other thing is much of modern US Population growth come from inmigrants and teen pregnacies, the former is changed, the later...
I think that in TTL Gran Colombia reached 150 millions of habitants at the end of XX century. It is be possible that US in TTL don't have many more habitants than that.
I wonder why Central America doesn’t want to join Colombia. Colombia is a democratic and economically prosperous nation, and it would benefit both of them if Central America became part of them (Colombia gets more people for labor and more resources, while Central America gets a non corrupt government that will likely invest money to build industry in Central America and defend it with the military).
So, i know it kinda veers away from the main focus of the timeline, so I don't really expect it to get its own chapter, but:
How's Canada doing? I see that they annexed my own beloved homeland of Wisconsin earlier in the timeline, and I'm just wondering whst home looks like
Yeah Seems that means a wealthier canada long term with the mining and agriculture in winconsin.Well, Wisconsin and Michigan were annexed after the War of 1814. They have a somewhat large Native American population because the British have allowed them to live there after expulsion from the American midwest. But they are starting to be pushed out as well by Canadian settlers. Britain is more amenable to reform because Liberalism as a whole is stronger, and since the US is much more antagonic, they have decided that they need to settle the land. As a result, a sort of homestead act was passed by Parliament, encouraging people to settle the territories. Since Eastern Canada has more land to settle, Western Canada is even more barren. In any case, the Great Lakes region is doing well. Without the Mississippi or the Hudson Canal, the main avenue for trade is the St. Lawrence, which has also resulted in a more populated Québec. Some Americans have also gone north, though they don't have any hopes of "pulling a Texas", especially because they barely defeated Mexico, a nation much weaker than mighty Britain. In any case, the Great Lake territories enjoy certain autonomy and are mainly agricultural, growing corn, hogs and wheat and shipping them through the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence to Britain. The result is that Britain isn't as dependant on the US when it comes to food supply (Argentinean wheat and meat also help).

Since Britain as the UP, as well as Wisconsin and Minnesota (we need a Greater Wisconsin province ) its important to remember that they also have the Copper, Iron and Lead ranges as well, which is going to be a big boost to industry and the economy in Canada.
I wonder if Colombia is going to take advantage of the filibuster move to get Central America to be closer to them.
I think it is Arizona in spanish instead of "Arisona".
I remember reading that it was originally called "Arisona" with an s by the Spanish. I deliberately decided to spell it that way to mark a difference from OTL.
The state's name appears to originate from an earlier Spanish name, Arizonac, derived from the O'odham name alĭ ṣonak, meaning "small spring", which initially applied only to an area near the silver mining camp of Planchas de Plata, Sonora.[10][11][12][13] To the European settlers, their pronunciation sounded like Arissona.[14] The area is still known as alĭ ṣonak in the O'odham language.[15]
Another possible origin is the Basque phrase haritz ona ('the good oak'), as there were numerous Basque sheepherders in the area.[16][17][18] A native Mexican of Basque heritage established the ranchería (village) of Arizona between 1734 and 1736 in the current Mexican state of Sonora, which became notable after a significant discovery of silver there, c. 1737.[19]
Plus Arizona in spanish sound like a force, Arida Zona(Zona Arida is the proper spelling, means Dessert/Dry Zone in spanish) i thought the gringos adopted, seems was older i thoughtFrom Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona):
Really is not clear the source of the name.

Any chance you make one of these with the Canadian provinces? Or whatever Canada is called in TTL.At the end of the day, it's just a difference in spelling, like Texas/Tejas. I like to leave details like this only to emphasize that this is, in fact, a different timeline than our own. By the way, here's the map of the US.
As a person from a nation that's been colonized by east and west, it's kinda funny to see Colombians and Americans seeing themselves as exceptional. I wonder how both nations will react if some Filipino or Burmese dissident writer scribbles some paragraphs on how the two should look themselves in a mirror and see how they're "not so different", especially when it comes to seeing themselves as exceptional or in swallowing native lands.
