The scenario goes as follows: After 7 Years' War French Acadians move from Canada down into the Mississippi River area. Tension rises in the territory as New Spain begins enforcing new laws on the French that lived in the region, unlike OTL where New Spain was passive. Slavery & poor native treatment also add to the instability.

In 1772, French Acadians, along with Maroons and the Choctaw Nation, take arms up against New Spain. Specifically inspired by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (same way the US was inspired by Locke) the Acadians declare themselves the Republic of Acadiana, aka the Croissant Democracy.

Now I kind of want to write a scenario like this, but I would like to know if it would be possible.
And if it is possible, would they succeed? And how would it effect the American Revolution and the numerous other revolutions afterward?
