Imagine the following scenario:
- the Brits avoid the Revolution by giving proto-dominion style autonomy to the individual colonies, while maintaining control over imperial commerce
- they continue to create new colonies east of the Mississippi, albeit at a slightly slower pace of settlement than OTL USA
- circa 1810-1820, they implement an international slave trade ban, which includes banning sales between colonies
How does this affect the development of the Deep South? Is plantation agriculture still going to be the main economic activity when slave importation is impossible? Will they get more white immigration as a result? Could New Orleans be the New York of the south for immigrants? What share of the population would be black by the 20th Cebtury? Is the south likely to be a less conservative part of North America?
