A lot depends on how the Brits treat the colonies.  The colonists wanted room to expand.  If the Brits close Florida to colonial immigration, resentment will still grow and a seperatist movement will arise. 

The gain of more sugar producing islands does not ensure there is no taxation on the Colonies.   We may still see a Stamp Act or equivalent for the purpose of to paying for the defense of the American Colonies. 

Someone will eventually come to power that sees the Colonists a vast, undertaxed mass of money.  This will likely spark rebellion in the 1790s or 1800s.
