Philadelphia Trials

Presuming the American Revolution is defeated by the British, what sorts of trials take place and what are the outcomes? How does the future of North America (and elsewhere) change over the years?
 
Presuming the Revolutionary leaders were not killed outright by British troops, they would almost certainly be executed. What's more interesting is the aftermath.
Maybe, especially in high-rebel areas, the British would put Tory administrators in. Is this with a POD before or after Benedict Arnold's defection? If after, he may be set up as a local Governor-General. Diehard American rebels are likely to become terrorists and/or flee beyond the Appalachians.
In a decade or so, the British may be willing to address the grievances of the colonies, but not so soon after putting down a rebellion.
The French Revolution may not happen, or it may be even bloodier than in OTL.
GB's American holdings will probably extend at least to the Mississippi, and include most of OTL Canada, plus the Oregon Territory as a later possession. Whether or not they would seize territory from Louisiana and Mexico remains to be seen.

Of course, OTL shows that Scotland and Ireland would rise up several times against English rule. And America is a damn sight bigger...
 
POD is 1778, Battle of Monmouth goes horribly for Washington after Lee bungles even more than OTL and gets a large part of the Continental Army killed/captured. By 1779 the Rebellion in the North is over and Washington is taken alive while the Southern colonies see low-level guerilla warfare but are unable to pin down the main force responsible (they are not captured but many desert). Jefferson and Adams are alive and at trial, Sam Adams and Patrick Henry are killed while trying to resist. Trials take place in 1780 with great fanfare, but Saratoga is still a defeat for the British and France is involved on at least a covert level.
