Whilst I've seen some TLs flirt around the idea (or haven't approached this point IIRC), I was curious as to whether a Post-Independence War could lead to a reunification/reconquest war if the Articles of Confederation fall apart and aren't replaced with the Constitution.
A particular sub scenario I'd be curious about is whether there would be any States that might be inclined to be the focus of "Reunification". I.e. join the Empire under rather generous terms, in exchange the British would transfer any reconquered territories to them.
Is brute force or a 'Friendly State' scenario possible? What would be the long-term benefits/costs of doing so?
