American Empire 1783

I'd actually be very interested to read a timeline in which the Iroquois Confederation was pretty much wiped out during the American Civil War...

Jared,

The idiot who posted that sentence meant the American Revolutionary War. Couldn't get his acronyms correct.

I knew what was meant, but nevertheless, it's an intriguing idea... having the Six Nations survive in some form until the American Civil War. Presumably it would require the Iroquois to side with the Rebels during the ARW, for starters, and even then it would take some doing. Maybe the Six Nations somehow survive an analogous fate to the Cherokee and don't get forcibly removed and sent further west. Or alternatively, maybe they do get sent further west, but still retain enough cultural continuity to be the Iroquois Confederacy somewhere along the Upper Mississippi when the ACW breaks out...

And to tie things back into the original thread topic, even if the Iroquois do side with the Rebels during the ARW, that doesn't mean that they will be treated as equals. Maybe that would be the beginnings of the American Empire...
