So when working on my independent Deseret TL, I've run into a snag. I have a large amount of usable info for Deseret itself, and to a lesser extent Texas and California (both of which will also be independent), but very little on possibilities for the U.S. itself.

So I'm wondering, if Henry Clay is elected instead of Polk, how are the politics of the U.S changed?

What is the focus of the U.S without a Mexican-American War?

Would the Southerns aim for Cuba and the other Caribbean islands instead if they couldn't get the West? Or would they still focus on the West?

What regional sorts of things will pop up?

How about if splinter groups of Mormons stick around in the U.S.? Will there still be violent opposition to these smaller Mormon communities?
