hey, all. one political geographic change i've been considering lately is the possibility of Indian Territory being located a little further east than IOTL: more specifically, what if Indian Territory was comprised of OTL Arkansas and the proposed area of Sequoyah? in this case, it would require a POD no later than 1819, in order for OTL's Arkansas Territory to be named Indian Territory instead
how would this affect the standing of Amerindians throughout the following history of the United States, considering that their new territory would border the Mississippi, and that they wouldn't have as far to travel from their original homes during the Indian Removal Act (though i'd imagine the deaths of the Trail of Tears would be unavoidable)
