Well we don't know how badly shafted the US economy will be by 2050.

With individual states already fighting against the Federal Govt.
(and maybe even against each other) before the British and Canadian
forces step in the chances are that resistance is disorganised and
piecemeal. I guess there would have been few actual battles but lots 
of little scrappy engagements. 

Guessing that most of the state-of-the-art units would stay loyal to
Parham. All the UK/Canadian/Federal forces need is air superiority
and they can really hamper the rebels' logistical support even
though the rebels are mainly on hoem ground. Maybe it would come
down to which side the Navy supported, blockade the coasts and fly
sorties from the CVNs

It did take 7 years. I doubt there was any nationwide organised
resistance, after all Parham is the established military. It wasn't 
a Canadian/UK invasion was it? They were invited in by Parham and all 
they did was help to 'pacify' the situation. ;-)

The Brits must have been playing some dirty tricks in the background
as well, otherwise I simply don't see how the could have got
everyone to unite under the crown at the end of the war.
