In OTL, West Florida was incited to join the First Continental Congress. The colony declined. During the Revolution, Spain ended up seizing Pensacola, the capital, and acquiring West Florida as a result.
But, how about if some of the West Floridian colonists decided to attend the First Continental Congress, thereby having West Florida represented and joining the Patriot cause in the Revolution? I don’t see the entire colony joining but it could lead to Patriot attempts to seize Pensacola, Mobile, Biloxi and Baton Rouge.
I’d imagine that their presence in the Continental Congress would mean that even if Spain captured the cities, West Florida would become one of the original American states while Spain retains East Florida.
What impact would this have on the Revolution and on the early development of West Florida and the United State?
These were the boundaries of West Florida as a colony.
