I think what is going to happen is that the Empire defeats the Continental Congress but the patriots continue to fight a guerilla war. This will keep the colonies unstable with British crackdowns and Patriot raids augmented by urban terrorists like the Sons of Liberty. Britains imnnvolvemwent in the French Revolutionary Wars will be the spark for a Second American Rebellion, that will eventually expel the Brtitish army.
Unlike the ARW there is no recognized centeral aiuthority with the PAtriots being a coaltion of different forces with different idealogies. General Jackson gains particular fame and success and ends upn being the one to take control of the country vassdalizing or crushing other factions. He becomes Emperor to legitimize his regime blaming republicanism for the failure of the First Rebellion. He pledges to establish a parliament when the situation stabilizes but has no real intent. He later does after facing heavy opposition but proceeds to try and m,arginalize it.
Emperor Andrew remains in power from both the loyalty of his army and through an idealogy of nationliam based on antiBritish sentiment/besigement, leading to a need for a strong government and military to defend from and eventually expel "perfidious Albion" from the soil of North America.
As time passes Emmperor Andrew's popularity declines as his relvance as a National Savior lessens and the people tire of his thinly veiled authoritarianiwsm and apparently endless desire for conflict. Jackosn suffers a major military defeat against the UIron Duke that sees him captured and a coup at home sees the Empire replaced with a 2nd American Republic.
Still Emperor Andrew sets a precedent for Monarchy and military rule that other will ttry abnd emulate as ti,e romamnticizes the Emperor into a rallying figure for nationalists.
That is my guess.
