I want to check if this makes sense.

The US never purchases Louisiana. They take New Orleans by force, but in the war of 1812 the British "liberate" the city.

Louisiana then officially remains a "French" colony, and many pro-democracy French people leave France for the area. Britain, however, is able to use its might to send its on colonists in, meanwhile the pervasive American colonist is present here too. The end result is the area is not loyal enough to one or another nation to join it, and rather, becomes a nation onto itself.

When its time for the Mexican american war, we find a Texas that has enough US settlers, and it is Louisiana, who comes to Texas' rescue first. They Liberate Texas (which becomes it's own country) as well as California (Mexican cession)

Meanwhile, Oregon is able to be successful. The US, wanting to expand manages to annex Canada. Britain is able to extend the influence of Oregon across the Prairies, giving all of Western Canada to Oregon.


so... does this make sense? or am I in ASB territory.
