How likely would this map have become if the US lost the war in 1862. I got a little liberal and assumed that the US would have ceded over part of CA in peace negotiations.
Would the Russians have had more influence in North America? Or would have Canada seized onto the upper plains territories?
Maybe Russia Keeps Alaska, but they wouldn't have any other territory in North America. Washington territory had already formed in 1853. Russian North America in this map would probably have remained union territory.
