Indigenous allies and the proposed buffer state

Was establishing a Native American buffer state a British plan?

The reply rejects the idea of a settled British plan and envisages Britain supporting a successful initiative by its Indigenous allies.

The follow-up challenges the earlier counterfactual by asking whether Britain already intended to create a buffer state. The reply places more weight on what successful Indigenous allies might choose to establish. A second contribution envisages supplying weapons to support such a project.
