Hello all. I'm still preparing the details for my finished Fringe alternate universe scenario coming in the next few months. In the meantime, here's another off-the-wall scenario for the board to consider: with a POD after 1783, is there a possibility that South Carolina's statehood could be dissolved in order to be recombined with North Carolina, say during the Reconstruction Era?

My thinking is that the federal government might consider the state's legislature to be an especially traitorous one, what with its history of nullification and threats of secession. But of course I can't think of any real-world precedent for such an action being taken (especially since it would reduce the number of US senators).

Any ideas?
