Hmm, I'm not so sure that there wouldn't have been a cobbled-together independent "Indian Nation" or somesuch as a buffer zone between the two. It was contested territory for sure, and one or the other would have had to wrench control from the other.

I'd have to check, but I think that in the 1860's Oklahoma was viewed as territory ceeded to the Cherokee et al as a giant reservation. The Oklahoma land grab didn't come until the 1880's, so we wouldn't have any Sooners or Boomers.

The real question in my mind is how this would have changed the face of college football.
