What if half of the Indian Territory was divided into Freedman's Territory and eventually became a state in 1910 with Sequoyah?

What would life look like for these for groups what would be present day Oklahoma? Do American Indians get a seat in the national legislature? Do Freedman and Indian Freedman get left alone and stay in their own little corner of the state? Do enslaved people revolt in these areas? What happens...

I asked here earlier about the Cozumel proposal in the US as an effort by Abraham Lincoln to settle freed slaves after the Civil War. As I sort of researched this topic, I stumbled upon various resettlement and colonization projects for African-Americans proposed by the United States and became...
