Probably a bit of a strange question but the development of new religions/denominations fascinates me and I want to incorporate something of this ilk in a TL I am working on. I don't know much about American history but what if Johnny Appleseed is more successful in spreading his version of Swedenborgian Christianity which is perhaps codified by a follower so that it splits off as a distinct Mormon-esque movement in the mid-west during this period. Given the teachings of tolerance towards African-Americans and indigenous inhabitants I could see this having a considerable potential impact on the development of at least northern American expansionism.
