It is basically Britian entering the Mexican American War.

Well no, it wasn't thought out even that far. Basically its just a "what if the USA never gained any land west of Louisiana?" map. Its old and not very good.

Well I thinks it's interesting because without a pacific coast they would have no reason to open up Japan.

Well the only way I can think Texas staying independent nation that reaches to the pacific
is through a much earlier Grand Scheme of the Americas.

Eh I wasn't thinking much about Texas when I made this map.

Sorry for bringing it up but it's just that when I read
what you write about Texas, it gives me the impression
that you are a Texan.

We make maps about what we know and feel the most strongly about, and for me that's Texas. A lot of people don't like the idea because of Texas's short and hard history of independence.

Technically it is the nation above America.
No offense.

Well I kind of gotten into the habit of saying Yankees,
do Americans like you find the term offensive?

Anybody outside of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine will find it offensive, especially for people like me who live south of the Ohio River. We use it as a term for anybody outside of the former CSA, so calling us Yankees just seems preposterous.

Well what are the terms used to describe the
different regions of the United States?

Well its different depending on where you're from. Personally, its like...
New England - Pennsylvania : Yankees
Ohio - Wisconsin : Midwesterners
Delaware - Arizona : Southerners
Kansas - North Dakota : "Boring"
Californians are just Californians
People from like Oregon and Washington are just hippies and tree huggers.
Between California and Colorado gets kinda fuzzy.

Wait I thought people from the Northwestern states were called Cascadians.

The Cascadian Movement is surprisingly small. Most people living in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are descended from people who migrated there during the 1880s and don't share the sense of self-identity that the original descendants had. That's how it is in most places. All over the USA, here in Texas, in all parts of the South, California, Cascadia, and Deseret, the population has become so saturated with northerners that the population is slowly becoming more homogeneous and the different sectional nationalities have become weaker.
Even I, for example, am not descended from the original Texians. There were fewer than 70,000 original Texians and most of there descendants have moved on or lost their self-identity. On my father's side, my family has been here since 1632 when a pare of Frisian brothers traveled to New Amsterdam on a Dutch merchant vessel. Only within the last generation did my family come to Texas. On my mother's side, we have been here only 3 generations. My great grandfather was a part of the Filipino military, and when the Philippines were granted independence from the United States in 1946 he moved to New York.

Well for my Family History I only know of my Dads side thoroughly.
My great grand father lived in Montreal Canada before the start of
the first world war and fought for the Canadian Expeditionary force.
Afterwards he moved to the United Kingdom, and had my Grand Father.
He fought for Britain during world war two, he thought about moving to
Canada but my Irish Grand mother did not allow it. In both cases they
where not at the front lines so they never experienced the horrors of war,
they just saw the victims.
So that is how my Dads side of the family is closely connected to Canada
as well as the British isles.

Its alternate history. The Mexican Civil War and French Occupation never happened

I don't think that Canada could have pushed that far south. The degree of settlement in the Oregon territory at the time of the Anglo-American disputes made it an inevitability that America would have a Pacific Coast. At the most Canada could have taken the majority of Washington State.

American settlers may have moved to the Oregon territory, but in this timeline the USA made no attempts to claim it and the territory, and all of its settlers,became part of Canada. Same this with many parts of Mexico, where white settlers moved in and became Mexican citizens

Yeah, this is about the USA getting screwed over by Mexico and Canada instead of doing the screwing.

Since all that was Mexican territory before the US even came into existence, I'm not sure that counts as Mexico screwing us...
