AHC: Earliest, most equal USA

How can the USA be the most equal the earliest possible time?

This is really several simultaneous challenges:
1) Have all races (and hopefully, but optionally, genders) be equal politically, the earliest possible time.
2) Have race not really have any affect on anyone's life (for example--for any stat that is measured on the census, there is almost no difference between different racial groups per capita), basically have the nation become so integrated that race is on the same level as hair color, the earliest possible time.
3) Abolish slavery the earliest possible time.

Optional things:
1) Have an American ethnicity pop up, think South-African-Coloureds.
2) Have the most immigrants possible / largest possible 2010 US population.
3) Americanize but don't kill the Native Americans.


The POD can be any time later than 1750.
 
1] A POD maybe during the French-Indian Wars that doesn't affect too much of how the American Revolution proceeds. Maybe the Indians don't support the French as much and joined the British and the American colonists? Greater African American participation in the War of Independence that encourages some of the Founding Fathers to consider limiting slavery? This is perhaps easier if the plantation owners themselves remain Loyalist.
 
If Cheif White Eyes manages to survive in the ARW and somehow achieves his plans of turning Ohio into a 14th state dominated by Indians might get you most of the way there.
 
I've got something that could come close, from a much earlier thread:

PoD 1787, first the Northwest Ordinance, in addition to banning slavery in currently held national territory (as OTL) bans slavery in all such territory acquired in the next ten years; second, the slave trade clause doesn't happen.

Short term results: the slave trade is abolished ten years earlier (and, according to one member, this means only half as many african americans), slavery is banned in the Louisiana Territory and in all states west of the southeast (save Louisiana itself). Throw in a cotton gin invented a 15 years or so after OTL, and this goes all the easier. Slavery itself likely dies down, though probably with some violent resistance, by the mid 1840's.

This may well mean less tension with Native Nations in the south if they need less land, so relations with the "civilized" tribes are a lot less stressed; could well mean no Trail of Tears kind thing. Smaller slave population means whites are less freaked out by the African American population, so there's less tension there too. All in all, the mid 19th Century is a lot less racist than OTL.

Making things more complex, less conflict over slavery can actually make American expansionism more successful, with mid 19th Century conquests in the Carribean and Central America to add to conquest of California. Side effect of this is a much higher Hispanic population. More land, more immigration...

Now this doesn't mean the US won't be racism around this time, but with an earlier end to slavery, and a more substantial native and non-white population, there will be a lot of pressure earlier on for greater racial equality. Truly universal male suffrage could plausibly follow soon after this great expansion, which could be by 1860.

If all this happens, the US could see a non-white President by 1900; but becoming "post-racial" is a whole other matter...
