How could the American Constitutional Convention have failed? What consequences would this have had? Thanks fellas.
Slavery being the elephant of the room could work, and other federal rights could make everyone getting up the table a leave even with franklin and washington best wishes...How could the American Constitutional Convention have failed? What consequences would this have had? Thanks fellas.
They wouldn't need to. Without New Orleans, Louisiana is completely useless and unmanageable to the French. They'll sell it for peanuts, or American settlers will move into it anyway and create their own local militias and governments.They would have tried again after a few years. Articles of Confederation simply weren't working.
We might have ended up with the states forming two or three different countries. Probably no Louisiana Purchase - the South would have eventually taken New Orleans by flooding it with Anglos and rebelling, but nobody would have the ability to buy the entire Louisiana Territory.
Still, divided states mean divided Louisiana. Long narrow states from coast to coast would look kinda funny. But I guess the Mexican territories and british Oregon may be a hard limit for the divided states.They wouldn't need to.

How? Spain couldn't even use the entire American Southwest as a buffer for populated Mexico. The population and immigration disparity is just too enormous. With a POD in the late 1700s there's no way that most of the modern US won't be occupied by culturally northwest Europeans, mostly Anglos.Napoleon wouldn't take it back from the Spanish (if the influx of Anglos happens early enough). In that scenario Spain uses it as a buffer to protect Mexico.

Nah, they knew that is a lost cause...maybe try to claim more territory for Canada...and Louisiana is a price the british would be interested.So, do you guys think that there would be multiple American countries? How many? And would Britain consider attempting to retake her wayward colonies?

That is after independance and the british are smart enough not meddle the old 13 colonies again.It would be tea-time right about now, and BBC America would be blathering on about the upcoming "Texit" referendum.
