I've been trying to come up with one of these for a while now, and I'd like others' opinions on what they think would have been a realistic border for Quebec after the Revolution was won.
All states with claims on unsettled territory were required to give them up in exchange for assumption of debt to the federal government, and so you saw Virginia give up claims to what is now Kentucky, North Carolina to what is now Tennessee, etc. So what of Quebec? Quebec at the time was very large, but its population in much of this area very not. What would a state of Quebec look like and how would those borders have come into being?
Here's my most recent attempt. Compare to some of the other states in the area; Quebec here is the largest state in the Union at point of independence.
Previously I had Quebec smaller, since the below is roughly as populated as it was. Not to say people didn't live in the Laurentides, of course, just as people did live in what would become Kentucky before it was cut free from Virginia.
I don't know. I still sort of like the smaller one. Thoughts?
