Gah! Please, no.

Not that I don't find U.S. history interesting, but most of it wouldn't translate very well to a Total War game. Most wars/conflicts in our first century generally involved only two major factions, which simply wouldn't be that interesting to play.

About the only period I could think of that even might work would be a Colonies campaign, set back in the 16th-17th century. At least there you could have four European factions (the Dutch, English, French, and Spanish) and maybe 2-3 major Native American tribes (Iroquois and the Crow, perhaps? I'm not that familiar with the tribes in the eastern U.S.), all fighting over territory in North America.

Aside from that, though, I just can't see an expansion over here.
