I can see the point of Vermont not wanting to join the British due to an independence streak, but I think historical events make it reasonable for it to exist as a dominion within the greater British Empire or something like that. And in a landscape redraw to punish rebellious tendency, I think hurting NH and NY by giving Vermont its own legitimized parcel is reasonable.
Loyalist forces in the South may be reasonable, but if the British abolish slavery as the did in 1803(?), that may spark tensions, even if there is made perhaps a leniency on allowing the colonies to end it later or more gradually. Plus, they'd be more distant from British owned Quebec/Canada, and although the British navy doesn't make that detrimental, it would perhaps complicate it if there's one loyalist colony in the middle of an American rebel ocean. And if Jackson can spur up Southern common men to fight the British Imperialism....

What about the government? While there'd be some features from the government the Americans were trying to establish (the Articles of Confederation, for example) there'd be a pretty free hand at establishing a formal government.
I think Jackson himself may be a mixed bag; Liberal in the form of representing the common people and supporting Liberty for all men, Conservative in the form of ensuring his own power, defying areas of the government around him, opposing ethnic freedom, etc. So perhaps an enlightened tyrant, although I don't like many of the other connotations connected to that phrase.
