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?
To me the map is highly unlikely.
First, the US had a strong hold on Maryland and Delaware after 1861 and I dont think it would have been necessary to cede either to achieve peace.
Second, i see no reason why the US would have ceded part of CA.
Thrid, what the heck are the russians doing in the rocky mountains?
