What would a fantasy campaign setting based on Colonial-Era America look like?

Like another cringefest made by burgers pushing for shit-tier setting to feel revelant and cover for the fact that's the best they can do for "historical knowledge".
Every fucking day at the same time we get this thread. Shit's stale, aramrite

Have some native tribes, both hostile and friendly. Some independend states and two big coalitions, one against slavery and one for it?
Aside from that maybe add some sort of conspiracy like the freemasons and something to differentiate it from normal america? Like steampunk or cattlepunk?

Why do you assume I like the concept because I want to circlejerk about my nation's historywhich I kinda want to do desu? The main reason I like the concept is because I like the idea of fantasy races settling a new frontier they aren't used to.
Also, I haven't seen a thread about making fantasy based on American history in awhile.
Small isolated villages of humans who are good send out adventures to kill villages of savage humanoids who are bad, take their shit and make more farms. The king overtaxes the farms, so some nobles organize a rebellion to become new king.

Frankly I find the 1700's a pretty fascinating area of history. Guns and canons are commonplace, but melee combat also common. Still no steam technology, so everything is still horses and sails.Jacobite rebellion, Indian conflicts, 7 years war, American Revoluton...a lot of interesting stuff.
Colonial Gothic is a decent system geared toward supernatural horror in that period, but could be easily used for other genres.
Seventh son of a seventh son. You're welcome.

I have a friend who talks about this setting all the time and he isn't even American

I'd hate to see what you think of poles.

I'll tell you mine.
The major thing in the world is East v West in a very Colonial America vs British Crown. The East has powerful and easy magic that is used for nearly everything from cooking and farming to royal duels and high class merchantile. The West? Well in the West magic is so volatile that you could blow a city by lighting a match. Since the world is full of creepy crawlies like Werewolves, Demons, and Vampires you got Salt. Just Salt. Werewolves are allergic to it, Vampires can't cross it, and Demons fear it. Towns have a ditch around them filled with salt so the monsters don't bite your head off in the night.

All the intresting stuff happened outside of America.
America was back then what the Australian outback is now.
