Ok, so lets say that the US was not allowed to be settled by heretics, and that the king gave out land to aristocrats. Basically, an all Anglican society with English landholders, black slaves, and white tenant craftspeople and servants, where colonial governors are directly appointed by the British crown (at least until the revolution, in which the aristocrats rile up the masses to take power for themselves).

Get the Idea?
Good.
Now, a few questions:

  • How does the US expand? Does it Buy Louisiana? Take Florida (or maybe just part of it, to complete Georgia's promised territory)?
  • Do Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia stay huge (since they're super influential, TTL, they would control the government, and thus not let themselves be carved up, right?) Does New York keep Vermont?
  • Industrialization and abolition almost certainly happen later than OTL, when would this happen roughly? Would it be as late as Brazil, or a little earlier, around when most South American countries abolished Slavery?
  • A weird question: Virginia controlled Bermuda for a while OTL, would it keep it TTL (post-revolution)?
  • Would the US ever rebuild relations with Britain like it did OTL? or would it hate it like south America hates Spain (Britain TTL would be a worse colonial "parent" than OTL, but still not as bad as Spain)

Thanks for the help
