So I decided to postpone A Dream Deferred for now if only because there's too much of a glut of Confederate TLs right now and it seemed better to explore something more original (yay Canada!) . Namely, for a TL idea I'm thinking, what if instead of landing at OTL Plymouth, or landing further south (namely NYC or Virginia, which seem to be the most considered options) what if the storm that diverted the Mayflower sends it even farther north?
So the options I'm thinking of are (going up the coast from Plymouth)
a) Pilgrims land near Halifax, starting conflict with the French colonies in the region
b) Pilgrims land on Cape Breton Island, and *Boston is in Louisborg, which like OTL becomes a fortress holdout.
c) Pilgrims go to PEI or NE New Brunswick, and drive a wedge between Quebec and Acadia, putting the French colonies in immediate danger
d) Pilgrims somehow get to the Gaspe Peninsula, and they, (and the subsequent Puritans) expand down the St. Lawrence defeating the French. French colonies instead expand from Acadia south through OTL New England
A note: All of these options assume that the Puritans still decide to settle near their fellow dissenters, and most likely France or the Netherlands would expand into the void in OTL New England.
Which of these seems most plausible, or interesting to do as a TL?
