Im just exploring the possibility of what could have happened in the American Revolutionary War.
The United States of North America:
1774-(POD) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
As the delgates from 12 of the thriteen colonies arrive, an odd presence of French-and quite pro-British speaking people enter the building. Unlike our day, where all of Canada refused, as well as Florida, Quebec, New Bruinswick, and St. John's Island (Prince Edward Island) attend. They see this as a way to break free from the British dependency. Quebec sees this as a sort of amnesty to return to France, as it seems, well to them at least, that France is supporting the rebels. The outcomes of the Congress are the same, with the exception of the Quebec act, where Quebec kept all anounced except its land gains.
The Congress Convenes on October 26 1774.
1775-April 18, 1775 Lexington and Concord
Shots were fired between the 700 British troops and revolutionaries over an amunitions cache. Paul Revere rides. The war begins. (The war continues as the same...)
1775-July Boston, Massachucetts
Washington, with new amunitions both from raids as well as heavy help from French, who had large sympathies to both America and Quebec, capture the Charleston peninsula as the citizens rebel agasinst the British tyrants.
1775- December 31 Qubec City
In order to remove the British presence in Quebec, the colonies launch a joint invasion with Quebec to oust the British. While Quebec tries to fend off the Britsh on their own for a bit, and the 13 colonies shall send around 3,000 men to relieve Canada from Britain. One half is lead by brilliant Montgomery, who after marching from Fort Ticonderoga and taking Fort. St. Jean and Montreal, meet up with the other forces lead by Benedict Arnold. Benedict, on the other hand, had lost around half his men to diseases, and his grand total was about 700 men. Luckily, the Quebecois had their own militias, and thus, the three forces laid siege to Quebec City. This was enough to convince the French to enter the war. And with the French, the Dutch and the Spaniards all declare war upon Britain. With a French blocade in effect along Quebec's coast, a Spanish in Florida, and a Dutch in Britain itself, the tide begins to turn. Qubec falls in the spring of 1776, and the British forces retreat to Nova Scotia.
1776-July 4 Philadelphia Pennsylvania and New York City, New York
General Howe, having retreated from Boston and having no where to go but Staten Island, and also with a large-scale piracy and blocade issue along the coast, finds himself in a bind as no reinforcements can be snet to him as the British are too busy fortifing Nova Scotia. Prince Edward Island also falls to the British who quickly fortify thre island as well.
1776-August 27 Long Island, New York
The British somehow got troops through the French (probably by flying the French flag) and landed a large force in the island. The Americans retreated to Brooklyn Heights, but How did not crush the Americans. Washington manages to evacuate to Manhattan, but is soon pushed out across the Delaware River in early December. The Britsh begin the prison ships fiasco around this time.
The Amercian forces at this time were sorely outnumbered and increadibly undermoraled in OTL.
Here, they are vibrant and itching to recapture New York as the French step up their blockade.
A Britsh naval battle between the French and Spanish ends with the French defeated, but the blockade still is in effect as the British are unable to resupply New York as the French pirates kill off their supply ships.
1776-December 25 Trenton, New Jersey
Washington takes the offensive and, like oTL, forces the Brits all the way to New York City. Unlike OTL, losses are low and the siege of New York begins as Washington's troops begin to retake the city.
1777-America
An attack on Charleston is severly put down by the American privateers. The Britsh were hoping for a Loyalist uprising, but none would come.
Unlike in OTL, America effectively controls Quebec and much of OTL southern Ontario as well as New Bruinswick, thus the Britsh are forced to attack from Nova Scotia, which was itching for the Revolutionaries. But still, the Britsh have a large force in Nova Scotia and begin in attack back into New Bruinswick. The campaign goes well at first even effectively occupying all of New Bruinswick, but the Americans slowly begin to encroach on the British. Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, as much of the army is gone, the citizens rebel and join the Revolutionaries. Nova Scotia immediately beigins an ill-fated invasion of Prince Edward island. They are forced to retreat in May 1777.
1777-August New Bruinswick
The Americans finally force the Britsh out of New Bruinswick and they retreat to Prince Edward Island to find it occupied by Nova Scotia. They troops are foced to retreat north to Newfoundland. As the war seems practically over, the French remove their blockade. America now controls almost all of the populated areas of Quebec, much of ontario, New Bruinswick, Nova Scotia, and The Thriteen colonies. Attention was now turned to the south.
A stalemate and many offshore attacks occur throughout 1778-1781. The Americans succeed in capturing the Bahamas and Trindad, but fail in Belize and many of the other islands. France loses St. Doningue to Britain but gregains in with the help of Spain. The Dutch recieve a preemptive strike before they can join the League of Armed Neutrality. The Dutch step up their military spending and pour in support for the Americans as they oust the British from the Virgin Islands. The Danish, seeing their chance, declare war and begin to island hop through the Virgin Islands. This is followed by Sweden, who is a key ally of Norway. All the meanwhile, the Barbary states run rampant in raiding ships as many are off at war.
1781- Yorktown, Virginia
The surrender of the British brings a final end to the war. At the Congress of Venice, a neautral power, The treaty goes as follows:
-America is Recognised as the United States of North America, compromising 18 states (including Vermont, which seperated and became its own state, then joined the Confederation.)
-Spain recieves East and West Florida, and any islands captured in the Caribbean (none)
-France keeps all of its posessions.
-America must pay debts to all loaning states (France, Netherlands, Spain) as well as to all Loyalists.
-Britain pulls out of all territories belonging to America.
-Denmark-Norway recieves a part of the Vigin islands.
-The Bahamas and a part of the British Virgin Islands are ceded to America.
