New England

New England officially the Federal Commonwealth of New England was a British dominion in North America which existed between 1841 and 1904. New England was founded following the Hartford Convention and the New England Act of 1841, both of which were responses to the Nullification Crisis in the United Provinces. New England was the first northern Dominion to break off from the United Provinces, in response to the succession of several Southern dominions. Unlike many other North American dominions, New England had a parliamentary system of government. The proximity of New England to British Canada led to Quebecois people moving south into Vermont and New Hamsphire. As a result, New England was one of four bilingual dominions, along with Carolina, Canada, and Texas.

New England was generally considered the most progressive of the British North American dominions, with the Liberal Party winning most elections after 1880. Massachussetts generally dominated the politics of the dominion, electing the most Members of Parliament out of any other state. As a result, smaller states sometimes proposed to create at least one more state out of Western Massachusetts. In the first years of New England's existence, politics focused on nation-building and relations with other dominions which continued to have slavery. Until Carolinian emancipation in the 1860s, New England continued to support and fund abolitionist movements in other dominions, especially under the government of Charles Sumner. New England's economy and politics was closely tied with that of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Dominion of New York. Boston served as a trade hub for the region but was not able to surpass the economic importance of New York City.
