Imagine somehow that Indian territory (with agreed US owned rail and other routes across them, and possibly some limited agreed white/ black cities) included the Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and maybe Idaho...

Could the US have still deveped into a great power?

Oh and was say 1870 too late to do justice to the descendants of the first North Americans (who had not already died )?
