The UK enmity, New Spain/Mexican Independence/Battle of Tampico, and later the Tejanos, and even later the Mexican- American War seem like good starting points if we're looking for potential flash points.


Perhaps the Latin American revolutions occur a little earlier. With or without US support, which sees Republicanism face off against the monarchy.  We nearly fought the Spanish under the Monroe Doctrine as the Civil War was winding down over the Chinca Islands War.


Similar potential in the Carribean under the Monroe Doctrine. The US tried to buy Cuba several times. Perhaps an earlier independence movement would see an earlier Spanish-American War.
