Or perhaps the better question would be, how must the US government change in order to keep Quebec from walking?
Threads centered around Canada becoming part of the US are certainly a familiar sight on this forum, though in my experience virtually every discussion gets muddled down in the quagmire that is Quebec -- specifically regarding how you convince a population of largely French-speaking Catholics to join a largely anglo-dominated union. After reading through a great deal of these (sometimes heated) discussions, I've come to believe that although there are many factors going against it, keeping Quebec in the union for the long haul is by no means outright impossible, though there are certainly many obstacles to be overcome.
So, with that in mind, how do you see the early US government changing to appease the Canadiens? I imagine Quebec would be an adamant supporter of increased states' rights, for one thing.
