Granted that time changes all things, However, the possibility that
an indian nation(s) will control the center of the USA is streaching
thingss
just to far. The question becomes: Who gave it to the indians?
As an example, the Quebec(?, Sorry it is to early to spell.) attempt to
exit
to Canadian confederation caused the Inuit(?) indians to threaten to
leave
Quebec and join another province (This would have resulted in a loss of
land in
Quebec of about 30 to 40 percent.) JTL

The reference to the army and weapons was a roundabout way of
saying that
the concepts of 'force', 'take', and 'give to' with reguard to the USA
are
not really viable. The only way the USA can be broken up/controlled is
with
the permission of the people.
The Official timeline cover the breakup of the USA by creating a
civil
war and having the UK army join one side. This is the sort of
'permission'
to which I refer. JTL
