Some crafty US entrepreneurs have snuck south of the border and illegally built canals there as well I see
You have a pretty interesting timeline going on here Glen.
Thanks, Hawkeye! Anything in particular that catches your interest?
Well, I like what seems to be happening in Latin America for now
but I also feel like I have to disagree with you about it. But I'm no expert on South and Central America.
Other then that, awesome.
Well, you don't have to comment! What is it that you feel like disagreeing with?
Nothing to do with Mexico.
Just things about the long term survivability of New Granada
or how Argentina can just swoop in and annex Peru and Chile.
how different was lil andy jacksons ARW experiences? Did he go north before going west?

Sounds like its going to be explosive in Tejas.
A mix of British loyalists and Americans means that any rebellion is likely to suffer from serious factional fighting.
Would expect that the bulk of the immigrants will come from the British area, both because their nearer and the US has so much land to expand into anyway.
The two loyalists you mention are getting pretty long in the tooth by now.
Also since we have a successful British holding of the south I would have thought Brown especially would have been happy peacefully enjoying the lands he had defended.
Could also be a useful champion for the 5 nations.
However expect to see a lot of their descendants looking for new territory to settle and develop.

Which remains to be seen.
Well, actually Argentina didn't, it's precursor did. And the key is that ITTL, San Martin is convinced for the good of the nation to take on a Washingtonian type of position. It is under San Martin that they are all brought together.
IOTL, San Martin was appointed Governor of Chile, which he immediately resigned. ITTL he is convinced (reluctantly) to accept. IOTL he was voted Protector of Peru, but again resigned shortly thereafter, here he has already been convinced of the importance of his leadership in holding together the democratic states of South America. Under his leadership, he pulls all these states together as part of the United Province of South America, which he is chosen to be Supreme Director of at that point. This is all happening a bit earlier and a bit differently than OTL, but you can see the potential was always there, if only San Martin would serve. He is the Washington of South America.
Hmm, that's some good stuff...I'll edit it and add it as background to the post.
Now then, we'll see how long that lasts once he's gone....
Compare carefully the names I listed and the names in the wikipedia posts they go to. These are ATL descendants of those loyalists (a grandchild and a child), not those men. I noticed the age issue as well, so that's how I get around it.
Yep, Thomas Brown is a wealthy and influential planter in Georgia ITTL, the empresario is his adventurous ATL son, John Brown.
What makes you think that?
Hmm intriguing.
So I see.
Here's hoping the UPSA will hold it together.
Amazingly interesting TL! Subscribed!
Can't wait to see more!
