I've been watching John Adams miniseries, which I founded very interesting, as I didn't know much about the history of the post-independent US. [1]
Anyway, according to the series, there were strong pressures for the US to join the war (on both sides). Many wanted to join France in the war, based on the Treaty of 1778. These people apparently saw GB as the US natural enemy.
Others, like the the Federalists , wanted and alliance with G.B. and advocated for going to war against France.
So, what if the US had entered the war on the French side? What if they had sided with G.B.?
[1] I've quoted the source because I'm not sure how accurate it is. Maybe this presures were exagerated, and going to war was never in the cards- You surely know better than I do.
