Okay, so I had a thought about the constitutional convention failing and the articles of confederation falling apart. Pennsylvania is its own country. Fast forward to post-1848, and German emigrants might head for a New World country which already has a large German population. Given their politics, I could imagine them changing Pennsylvania's politics and even creating the sort of German-American socialist tradition which we saw hints of IOTL coming from Milwaukee, only actually able to be very successful, even if it's only in being a big fish in a much smaller pond.

But I know I'm missing some important butterflies, so please point them out to me.
