I and O are a bit redundant.

Having both Indian Territory and Oklahoma as clues for each other is a bit weird. I would also have fewer states as they're easy to guess!

Not gonna lie, having a third of the answers just be states is kinda lame. Especially when so much bandwidth on this site is already quizzes where you just name the states. I'd love it if you'd switch some of those up - eg, for "M" you could do Monitor and Merrimack, for "O" you could do Overland Campaign, for "T" you could do Tecumseh or Trent Affair, for "V" you could rephrase to ask just the name of the peninsula on which Lee sought to defend Richmond from McClellan
