Springboarding off something raised in another thread:

Read up on the Mississippians. Their culture-empire-confederation underwent a violent implosion around 90 years before contact which lead to an immense, almost mad-maxish fleeing of their former territories, with those who remained forming new Amerindian tribes and those who fled pouring across North America.

They are a truly fascinating group.

What if this culture hadn't imploded? In the areas where the remnants of this culture did come into contact with Europeans, they were no pushovers. How would it have affected European encroachment in the Americas?
