In lurking here for some time, I've read many interesting timelines; they often spark a lot of different ideas. I've finally built up the courage to jump into the fray with what evolved into an interesting concept for me. I wanted to attempt a TL where Nova Scotia joined the ARW as the 14th colony and experiment with what would develop as a result of this change.

The primary POD is the year 1775, as the Second Continental Congress is convening. The letter inviting Nova Scotia was actually sent, and the colonial government begrudgingly sent two delegates. One other tweak: The Yorkshire Emigration to Nova Scotia from 1773–1775 did not happen in nearly the numbers experienced in OTL because of the accidental interference of Governor Francis Legge. As a result, there is a slightly greater increase in Patriot sympathies leading up to the war. For ease of read, the term “Scotian” will be used ITTL as the demonym for people of Nova Scotia.

Many thanks to PCSwitaj for allowing me to model my presentation after some aspects of his timeline. I hope you all enjoy reading and commenting as I have had writing.

Now, it is my privilege to present "In varietate concordia: From Fourteen to the American Union."
