I'm currently working on an alternative map of the US (not a wank, just different), and I'm constructing a basic timeline for it as well. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions for me.
How likely would it be for West Florida, East Florida, and/or the Bahamas to join in the ARW, or was Tory sentiment far too strong? I'm trying to get the Floridas to become US states (or territories, most likely) directly after the ARW, rather than have them given to Spain.
Could the Bahamas be seized by the Continental forces and then hold out until, say, the French fleet could reinforce them?
Could the Yazoo Lands (claimed by Georgia) be used to give land (and theoretical statehood) to the Civilized Tribes? This supposes a Supreme Court that would rule in favor of their treaties, as well as no Andrew Jackson-like figure that would ignore the ruling.
