Perhaps lots Of variables could come into play. There were still European powers interested in portions of North America. Great Britain, France, and the soon to be on the scene Unified Germany. Not to mention the czar and don't forget Spain
THAT's what my question addresses.
The west coast would be Russian, bet on it. I can also see the European powers warring over the rich middle farmlands, much of which already settled by Germans, and there was a large German population in Texas.
Spain, France, and England would have no doubt squabbled over portions of the east coast. France and Spain might have bloodied noses over the Mississippi river system.
Floridians would probably be speaking Spanish exclusively, who knows about Texas...Spanish, German...?? The rest of the southeast could well be a British colony or a little warm Canada.
The southwest sure could be under either Spanish or Mexican flags.
We just might not be one nation.
Maybe,..maybe not.
But what's more important to you,....being free or being part of a large nation?
