Map image uploaded to illustrate articles such as en:Annexation Bill of 1866 and en:Annexation movements of Canada with a purely speculative interpretation of what the borders of the "Canadian" states might have been if an annexation had actually gone through. This was created by a user on an alternate history forum, not by a real historian, and is not supported by any sources which confirm that these would have been the exact real borders of anything. We should not be using alternate history material in this way; if it's important for the articles to contain illustrations, we should look for scans of real pro-annexation or anti-annexation documents (such as real advocacy pamphlets that have passed into the public domain) rather than propagating newly created speculative maps.
