I've been thinking about this topic recently.....how and when could the united states balkanize during its very early years? What would be a good POD for this to have them split up. I'm not thinking one country for each state either, maybe like New England, Carolina, New York, and Georgia, with a rump US in the middle. Or something along those lines. also, what would be the effects of such a breakup, both in North America and worldwide (specifically I was wondering how the French revolution might change, and the possibility of an independent Louisiana). Anyone have any ideas?
