Need help restructuring alternate Missouri Compromise!
Hey all, I'm doing a small "for fun" alternate history side project where Benedict Arnold's Quebec invasion succeeds, adding 3 new states to America (parts of Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.) Throughout this US's history, the south is in a minority by 3 states. There's a few outcomes I could think of that could come up:
- James Madison, with the pressure of a stronger north, finally decides to gradually abolish slavery.
- An early succession happens.
- The Missouri Compromise happens earlier or is much more aggressive to compensate for the south's lack of representation.
I've thought about going with the 3rd one; I just don't know where to place the compromise line. IF I place the compromise line differently (which I'd have to) how on earth do I divide these wildly alien states?
I'm pretty new to this and it's giving me a headache. Could someone give me some help here?
