Why isn't the predominant presumption that they'd instead they'd be variously excluded from office or the franchise or briefly imprisoned (like Jefferson Davis).

The ACW is often considered a harder and more "total" war than the ARW in general, why then do so many assume the defeated rebels would be treated more harshly than the Confederates were in OTL if the British defeated the Patriots?

Also, I've heard several express the idea that if they lost, the Patriots would have been likely to resettle west of the Appalachians and elude British reach there. Sobel I think had the Fleeing Fathers create a government in Mexico.

I'm rather skeptical of this being possible because it ignores British power in the event of their victory, and the opposition of Amerindians, Spaniards, Mexicans etc. Your thoughts?
