In 1789, Vermont is allowed to become part of Quebec. At some point when Canada is established, Vermont is made into a province itself, and given goverment representation of it's own.

How would this happen and what is made of it?
 
You need a weaker United States. Perhaps the articles of confederation stage lasts longer, and Britain is more eager to get a toehold into the North East.

The biggest change is probably that we have a very early precedent for the unilateral secession of an area ceded to the US by the Treaty of Paris. This will have big effects on any sort of *Civil War situation.

We also see increased Anglo-American tensions, possibly including an early *1812 War.
 
Living in Vermont this thread needs to be a ASB thread. The only way it would work would be for the English to have lost the French and Indian War.

I dont think it is, actually.
Ethan Allen and the green mountain boys did open lines of communication with the brits, with the idea that if they couldnt get vermont free within the us, they d do it outside the us.

Whether they would have carried through on the threat, i dont know. I could see it happening even if it wasnt meant, through escalating positions.

If they did get freed by the brits, then the brits would probably want them administratively in 'canada'. Now remember that canada and quebec are synonymous. So, yes, it could have been part of quebec.
 
Yes I know that Ethan Allen tried to sell Vermont back to the British, but as the story goes he wanted to much money.
The first house I owned was on part of what had been His brother Ira's 120,000 acre land grant.

Right, but if ny and nh find out, there could be mudslinging back and forth until the allens had to leave the us. Could they take vermont with them?
