The United States of America is a miracle. In OTL, the Thirteen Colonies declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, and against the colonies united as one nation to protect themselves from the outside world and, according to their constitution, to create a more perfect union. But what if this single entity had never formed?

On January 2, 1769, John Adams, a lawyer and former selectman from Braintree, was decided to go skating at a nearby pond. Unfortunately, the ice cracked, and Adams fell in, barely managing to escape. After nearly half and hour, the would-have-been future founding father succumbed to hypothermia. The fate of the American Colonies, and the world, was altered forever.
