On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln stated in a State of the Union address the viability of a federal territory for African-Americans in the United States. In the belief of Lincoln and the Union government at the time, the purchase of any land can help African-Americans live in a free society away...

So, I looked up some of the history of the Yucatán on Wikipedia, and it is fascinating. There were a lot of Yucatán independence and autonomist movements from the 18th and 19th centuries, it seems. The Rebellion of Jacinto Canek happened in the middle of the 18th century, and the Caste War of...

If the United States had annexed the Yucatan Republic and in the (admittedly somewhat unlikely) event that the Mayan rebels are defeated, what would effect would this have on neighboring British Honduras (modern day Belize)? Would Britain end up selling British Honduras, and if they do, would it...

So there are a few videos on the topic (most notable being WhatIfAltHist, but from before he had a good mic), and the gist of it was that during 1847, there was a request from the white, slavery-based landowning elite of the Yucatan, then an independent state to join the USA. OTL, it was turned...

OTL, James K. Polk got an offer he couldn't refuse- a yucatan rebellion that wanted to join the Union. Naturally, an expansionist southerner like him took the offer. Of course this mean he needed yet another free territory to keep the senatorial balance and prevent chaos in the north. So he...

If Texas, Rio Grande and the Yucatan Rebellions united in some kind of compromise, could this allow this new republic to survive to modern day? I'm thinking that these rebellions might be able to hold off a reconquista if they enter into a military alliance at least. Maybe they create a new...

In OTL, Yucatan and Texas saw each other as brothers, both fighting for freedom against Mexico. Texas would go on to be annexed by the United States and Yucatan would allow annexation by Mexico in exchange for Mexico's aid in the Caste war of Yucatan. If Texas was never annexed by the US, would...

While it is common to see threads that discuss the Yucatan becoming part of the US as a result of the Caste War, what would the consequences be if the Yucatan Peninsula somehow became and remained part of British Honduras later Belize to the present day? Edit - Was referring to just the Mexican...
