Look, I was going to give this map the title ,,North America, but what if we stuck to old Colonial Borders?" but after re-analizing it i've decided that a better title is ,,North America if it was an affront to God, My Eyes and everything that is holy".
For a second it looked like a shoe and despite it all I kind of like it. I assume Texas maintained it's claims and the bigger Utah is Deseret?

1. I can't unsee Texashoe now
2. Big Utah is the ,,I can't really split this state in 2 so i'll just leave it this way" state. But yeah it might be Deseret, but that seems like a bit of a cliche so i'll say it's Wyoming, and TTL's Wyoming is named Deseret becouse the Mormons got sent there.
Meaning the small Southern one at the border ist most likely New Mexico?

It's OTL Arizona but ITTL it's called ,,New Mexico". However ,,New Mexico" is still a general term applied to former Mexican Land - think Cascadia OTL.
Part of my current Canadian Maine project, the Former United States in 1823. ittl the USA fell apart after all the state claims finally came to blows when Virginia wouldn't give the Allegheny to Pennsylvania (also ittl Spain didnt help the rebellion, so Florida is kept by the British, and Maine splits off of Mass., and due to some pod shenanigans, it goes from one of the most pro-rebel to one of the most anti-rebel (don't question it). Napoleon also won in Europe because Britain never joined against them (they were busy in the 1AW) (the opposite, in fact, as Britain split Spain with France and the fmr. American nations)
Unorganized Territory, more commonly known as Ohio Is Extremely Confused And Upset it Wasn’t Just Given This Strip Of Territory.
What's the thing in New York and Massachusetts? Some kind of Federalist country?
10/10, this is clearly the ideal borders of Europe.
Philadelphia essentially told ohio to trust the process:tm: (aka in a potential next war vs Columbia, they'll use it as claims to annex more of western virginia)
its the Republic of Liberia, formed after the First American War in order to control their former lands in Michigan better. It was formerly split between a Burrite and Hamiltonian factions, although they're currently in political chaos after their massive loss in the Second American War (well, they only lost their Michigan Territories, but still)

A timeline of the Americas durring the Century of Revolutions (with the bottommost map being one of the Modern Day)
The problem is that it's very easy to tell which borders you drew and which ones were already in the template you used. As basic advice, you should make sure your borders are (usually) one pixel wide, particularly around edges and corners, and that you use the border color (which is a very dark gray) rather than black.
