There's a lot of old money in those areas, it would be one of the most interesting regions in a US split or Civil War. I'm not real Skookum on the region...……………. but here's my SWAG
I hate to tell you, but I see Mass as pretty solidly Loyalist with a few Insurgents spray painting Insurgent Graffitti and causing minor problems. New Hampshire and Vermont would be effectively split with the Northern 2/3rds held by the Insurgency and smuggling goods from Canada
Maine would be the most interesting............ hell they can't even put in electoral votes as one state.
That is what I am thinking. NE would solid loyalist, with NH, and Maine being the outliers. As for Mass, I'd say all in green would be government-friendly, while the rest would be insurgent... further west you get, the less reliant they are on the government. And I only put Newburyport in the possibility of not being part of the loyalists because there are working people there that hate the government.
Here's your problem TC. I just checked, it's only 37 miles from Greenfield to North Adams. That's not a lot of buffer zone
No, it's not. That is why I am expecting/hoping that NH would push down south to bolster the strength of those in Mass. Or allow them to flee up north, but if NH pushed south, the military bases that are there would be a great place to allow strongholds to be built upon.

The bases that are not under "state control" in my idea would be strong points of contention, and with their size and armaments already on them, they could even the playing field quite easily. That's one Army base, with a national guard station, and two air force bases.
They are too far out for the govt. of Mass to worry about, and it would take time to solidify their positions to do so. If anything they would be afraid to get away from Boston and the 495 belt, because after that, it's a world they don't like and aren't use to.
