In this scenario, there is no way in hell that Charles VIII rejects her for Anne of Brittany.plus Philip dying before late 1493 would be a disaster for the Habsburg as Margaret was still captive in France and she would become Duchess of Burgundy.

Kill Elizabeth of York off in childbirth with Henry or Elizabeth and have her wed Henry VII. It's not as though England and Burgundy haven't had a long-standing alliance, after all.Crap, I forgot that. Well, who does Margaret wed in this scenario as Duchess of Burgundy then?

How long would the American Civil War be if Kentucky joined the CSA and New York also seceded?
As an option how about New York gets significantly worse draft riots? To the point it lessens support for the war in all the mid Atlantic states.Why would NY secede? There was only insignificant popular support for it, with only Fernando Wood speaking for it, and we know how quickly things changed from the state being indifferent to Lincoln to its fervent support of the Union after Fort Sumter. Definitely ASB.
During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the populations of St Lucia, St Vincent, and the Grenadines (all of which were previously French British holdings who had ended slavery when not British) revolted against Britain. The British were successful in reasserting authority.
What if these islands had broken away and established an officially neutral confederation?
Yes, it would be very difficult to break away, declare your independence and convince your former masters of your "neutrality". They would still just see you as rebels needing to be subjugated. Only if you can get meaningful support from another power can you assert this independence in any longer-term way, and of course that is not neutrality, but either alliance of vassalship.If the islands had broken away and established an officially neutral confederation, they would be leaving British colonial rule when it was dominant (French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars), so, British would defeat and annex the neutral confederation and things would return to otl with minimal to no butterflies.
The draft riots in New York City happened two years into the war, and they weren't anything to do with a pro slavery stance of any group. The riots were a reaction of working class Irish-Americans to the ability of rich Americans to buy their way out of the draft.As an option how about New York gets significantly worse draft riots? To the point it lessens support for the war in all the mid Atlantic states.
As the alternative to Rome or in a situation where two rival Popes reign?AHC: Have the Avignon papacy survive for at least 2/3 of a millenium
Unlikely, well could happen in practice, but they won't recognize each other's legitimacy.As the alternative to Rome or in a situation where two rival Popes reign?
You might develop a situation where major powers choose their own allegiance, and eventually you have a system of Catholic CHURCHES each with a Pope at the head, similar to how in the Orthodox world each of Greece, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Egypt etc has their OWN head of the church
