Hmm then maybe they succeed and hold it for a time. They’d need to Intrgrate the nobility and show them the system will work for them. So maybe going before they’ve taken the Deccan would be best tho @Madhukar_Shah likely knows more

Before I post my own thread, I'd like to know if there are already some threads up about an earlier American Civil War.
What could have caused the slave states to rise up early, preferably in the 1810s-30s?

If it happened in the 1810s, the British would probably swoop in too...

Well, the Regency Act 1830 set Victoria's majority at 18, so I don't see why the same wouldn't happen for William's son. As for a coronation, harder to say. Continental coronations happened at age 13/14, which technically ended the regency (in France at least), but Britain had no real tradition one way or the other. They might just delay the coronation until 18, so the King can go through the more rigorous ceremonial without issue.
I'm not sure if this goes here or in Fandom AH. It's about an alternate timeline where a Fireman division used to burn English-influenced books existed (obviously this didn't happen and seems really unlikely, but for the sake of AH discussion, maybe we could theorize about this?)
Stoneman and Black drew forth their rulebooks, which also contained brief histories of the Firemen of America, ..."Established, 1790, to burn English-influenced books in the Colonies. First Fireman: Benjamin Franklin."
This comes from Fahrenheit 451, a book.
However, I'm not here to talk about the book. I'm here to talk about a TL where this existed.
Maybe something like the Alien and Sedition Acts happening earlier? Some crisis (attempted coup maybe, perhaps with British connections?) leads to the US government going overboard to stop it?

An attempted, or successful assassination of George Washington might do it...
There have been discussions about a Liberia in Namibia, Gabon, and Madagascar, but what about Biafra/Southeastern Nigeria? I don't know what the native population of the Nri Kingdom was in the early 19th century, but it was in decline. I mention this region specifically for oil obviously. The region also has a slightly better climate than OTL Liberia as well.
It indeed might be. I was thinking something similar to Israel-Palestine. Do you think it's realistic in the first place to choose southern Nigeria as a landing spot for former slaves? Please just give me some reason for it not to be ASB.
Are there any other areas in Africa with oil that are less populated at the time?
Isn't it too densely populated? Liberia was chosen because the coast was not TOO populated. There is a link to the (then-illegal) slave trade, since slavers mostly avoided Liberia because the natives were considered to make poor slaves as opposed to those enslaved in the Biafra region--apparently they were "too rebellious" and more liable to kill their family and themselves if enslaved.
Too many well-established, already hostile natives. Now, if they have no qualms essentially exterminating those people they could do it, but that means Liberia would overall need a different foundation because it would definitely need greater funding and people who want to go.
