How did the ethnic distinction between northerner and southerner happen? Would they still just be standard issue white?

What is "standard issue white"? I don't understand.

your general anglo-irish-german mix that comprises about 60% of the modern U.S
my earlier comment was just pointing out that now real genetic distinction could occur in such closely related populations in such a short amount of time.

Very detailed and diverse.
I can´t wait to see the AH scenario proper.

*New York Union.
*Republic of Maryland.
*Confederate States of Appalachia.
*República de Florida (Republic of Florida)
Good job picking up on this one!
*Minnesota Republic.
*Republic of Nebraska.
I'm afraid this world put Nebraska in a different place.
*United Republic of Missouri.
*Lakotah Confederation.
Something different, due to the combination of of tribes that have to live in harmony there.
*Montana Federation.
*Midwest Confederation.
Used to be united with Montana, but split due mostly to Columbian influence.
*Sequoyah Confederation.
I'd never heard of that game. Interesting!

Well, "Crimson Skies" is a game franchise and fictional universe.
It´s background story is about the USA and Canada falling apart in the early 1930s due to the Wallstreet crash, an influenza pandemic and the internal conflict about prohibition. Despite mostly just being an excuse to have a game scenario with air pirates and air militias fighting each over freight zeppelins during the mid-1930s, it is actually quite nicely and detailed written.

I got mostly into this universe because of a really well-written fanfic (Sadly, only in German...but Google Translate might made it readable for you).

Your divided US map looks a little more like 19th century break-up, correct?

Nun ja, meine deutsch Fähigkeiten nicht alles Gute sind. Aber, mit nur ein wenig Hilfe am Meiste ich verstanden kann.
Yes, I loosely based this on an alt Mexican-American War which ended without an absorption of the lost Mexican territories. As well as the Civil War going better for the South and far stranger. A good POD is probably 1835, which Texas gaining more in their revolution and independence from Mexico.

So how much difference is there between the different British-descent ethnic groups in this case?

Although it is true they all once spoke American English, the divergence of the Yankee English and Southron English has marked, for some, the clearest difference.
Yankee English and Southron English are distinct from one another, not only in usage, but in implication. They are mostly mutually intelligible, but offer some difficulty, as Southrons (Dixons, Appalachians, Floridians, Texans, and, as much as the others may dislike it, Negroes) speak the general Southron English, the Yankees (Yankees, New English, New Yorkers, and Pioneers) stick with Yankee English. These are both descendants of American English, which still lives on out in the West. This language separates these groups.
Floridians are closer to a Hispanic race than a British-descent one in this world, as Floridian overlaps racial lines. Although it is true most Floridians are primarily of European descent, the acception of Amerindians and Negroes, as well as other Spanish and southern European into the Floridian group make it distinct.
So, in short: language for most, some ethnic ties for others.

How do your "political entities" differ from states?

Wyyt In reply to SoaringAven [2017-10-26 23:52:43 +0000 UTC]
Simply another word for independent state. Like how the United States and Canada are separate political entities.

Well yes but your "political entities" contain several states. Is that like client states?

Wyyt In reply to SoaringAven [2017-10-28 16:49:41 +0000 UTC]
There are states influenced by the others, whose only importance is their reliance and alliance on the greater country. So yeah, like client states.
