Never Truly United

After the American Revolution, the United States was formed, the main word there being United, however, what would have happen if the 13 colonies hated each other, even after the revolution. Welcome to Never Truly United.

Points of Divergence
The thirteen colonies can never really stand each other and can barely work together, the American Revolution lasts for 3 more years in this timeline. The Americans still win with difficulty and declare their independence from Britain. Despite the hatred for each other, several US presidents manage to keep the US together somehow, even with several states leaving, in fact, the United States of America only collapses after the Civil War.

When Abraham Lincoln is assassinated after the American Civil War, the US falls unto chaos and officially dissolves on the 12th of May splitting into several states.

After this, some of the bigger, more stronger states start annexing smaller states like California and Texas, new republics are formed like the Republic of Franklin and the Republic of Jefferson which from together to make the United States of Franklin. Some countries take over other, much weaker countries like Missouri taking over what was left of Kansas after Texas annexed the Southern part of that state.

It's not just the former United States that is effected, Mexico has shrunk in size a lot after The Great Mexican Wars and the Caribbean was invaded by several American countries after the Texan-Spanish War along with the rest of North America except Canada and Greenland.

There's other differences like some states being settled by different groups, for example, California was settled by the British.
