To have prevent the French Revolution,or at least mitigate it,the Americans can perhaps start repaying their debt,by sending grain shipments earlier to France when the famine strikes.

And perhaps,depending on the clout he has with the US parliament,Lafayette can favour the French more in trade deals. It was originally envisioned that France would recuperate its’ war cost by having a greater control of the American trade market for example,it ended up backfiring because the Americans just returned to trading with the British.That can work.

On the matter of Louisiana,if the French Revolution is less radical,which might mean there’s no French Revolutionary War,then the US will have to get it somehow from Spain.
Maybe the same way Texas was gained.
They retained diplomatic relations with France in OTL,but the French didn’t get much benefit in terms of trade,because everyone just bought British goods,like before the War of Independence.So, by retaining diplomatic relations with France, they'd get a better deal in terms of trade.
Yes,possibly when Spain is distracted by something. I do believe that people like Aaron Burr were resting their fortunes on a potential war with Spain.By force?

Do you guys mean Florida?On the matter of Louisiana,if the French Revolution is less radical,which might mean there’s no French Revolutionary War,then the US will have to get it somehow from Spain.

Potentially Louisiana if there’s no Louisiana purchase.Louisiana only returned to France when Napoleon became the ruler of France. The French ceded it to Spain after they lost the 7 Yrs War.Do you guys mean Florida?
Well OTL there was a fire in New Orleans in 1790 or so I Believe. You could always simply offer up to buy it. Or you could go the Andy Jackson route.
I think the Spanish will only sell their land if they actually have some form of trouble in Europe,otherwise,even if they are willing to sell it,it might be too costly.Which is better in your opinion?

What do you mean by that?
He means that politics like Manifest Destiny and the post WW2 Americanized world system are "imperialistic" even without the trappings of having a hereditary ruling family. See Roman Republic before Caesar.
Everyone!?but everywhere else outside of it will.
Everyone!?![]()
I understand that. We're just saying that, since it is possible to be imperialistic without an emperor, you need to specify that you want a TL that includes the traditional imperial trappings. Otherwise people will just tell you to leave as is, since America has some imperialistic elements already. Your intention wasn't clear until a few posts in....nah.When I said I'm sticking with my own idea, I'm serious about it. TTL's America will NOT become a republic, but everywhere else outside of it will.
