I'm happy to try and convince you otherwise. ;)
Expect the only commercial venture run by Astor, the Pacific Fur Company, was liquidated during the War of 1812.
This is simply not true. John McLoughlin and James Douglas earned their goodwill with American colonists for decades simply...
100,000 Americans that appear from where exactly? The California Gold Rush would suck up any migrant inclined, like it did OTL. The British would be aware of the parallels of California and when deposits are found in Frazier Valley as well, again, like OTL.
Not to be rude, but I recommend...

Does the Native population remain a target of genocide if the majority of the population of California colonists is American? Oh wait, when do the Miwoks matter. :rolleyes:
"Armies of the Sixteenth Century: The Armies of the Aztec and Inca Empires, Other Native Peoples of the Americas, and the Conquistadores 1450-1608" by Ian Heath covers the topic "absolute fantasy" of obsidian damaging Spanish armor and cotton being used by many conquistadors to avoid getting...
