what would you have to do to make ireland a state or states in the US and how much would it change history?
Well, Harry Harrison could decide to write an even more insane Ameriwank scenario......
Realistically, however, I can't think of a plausible POD short of a super-USA conquering the British Isles.
Not really.
'Yey we've overthrown our evil protestant oppressor and gained our freedom!!!
Lets join another even more protestant, evil oppressor!'
I doubt that USA would become an oppressor. Anyhow it´s still impossible. Doubt Britain would allowe US troops so close to Britain in the 19th century.
I doubt that USA would become an oppressor. .
Well neither was Britain.
Harry Harrison: Yes they were! Britain was the most evil, snooty, mean, uncool power on the planet since Nazi Germany's fall in 1786!
Cornwall as an American state, on the other hand...

a bunch of Irishmen flee the East Coast of the early 19th Century US, heading west, founding a nation that they call "Ireland". decades later (or a century later), under a new generation, they agree to join the USA, as a state.
Ah yes, the Plantations of Ireland were a benevolent move. Oh, and the denying Catholics political rights. Ah yes, the United Kingdom was nothing but benevolent to the Irish...Well neither was Britain.
The Catholics from before the days of the plantation until after the last jacobite rising britain were dangerous people who wanted to destroy the country, thats why they were denied rights. Guy Fawkes hardly wanted freedom of religion, he wanted to destroy Protestant rule, also the UK ended slavery how long before the USA?Ah yes, the Plantations of Ireland were a benevolent move. Oh, and the denying Catholics political rights. Ah yes, the United Kingdom was nothing but benevolent to the Irish...
