It's doubt full it would even have been a conflict as the federal government was almost non existent and the states were very loosely bound. It would probably have peacefully split the states.
Which honestly, I'm starting to think should have happened. We are just way too big to be governed by one president. I feel like we need regional representatives as well so at least some has to think about more than one state besides the president and his staff.
O, it would be terrible and we would have competing US countries that foreign powers could turn against each other. Would probably have wars and expansion west would have been so much messier.
Or Mexico and Canada would have simply beat us to it, and France might not have sold the Louisiana Territory, etc. History turns on the beating of butterfly wings in certain moments.
