Nations Colliding
-
Description
-
Article that traces the relationship between the "Five Civilized Tribes" (Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles) in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) and the Confederacy during the Civil War. Tribal leaders attempted to use the war as an opportunity to solidify the status of their respective groups as independent nations by aligning with the South. However varying ideas on race and slavery caused divisions within the tribes and "the American Civil War, initially a conflict between two American factions fighting to settle their differing views of nation, thereby became an Indian Civil War that did the same thing."

Choosing Sides: American Indians Square off in Southwest Missouri
-
Description
-
A look at Indian involvement in Civil War battles in Missouri which "holds the distinction of having been the stage for the only conflict of the war, the First Battle of Newtonia, in which American Indian units of regimental strength faced each other in combat." The battle took place September 30, 1862. Most Indian involvement with the Civil War though, occurred in Indian Territory. Stand Watie, a slave-holding Indian, lead a group of mixed-race Cherokees and was the only American Indian of the Civil War to attain the rank of general. Watie and some of his men fought also at the Battle of Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861. Includes a picture of Cherokee Chief John Ross who led the pure-blood Cherokees and advocated neutrality when the war broke out; Stan Watie; and Arkansas lawyer Albert Pike who "was sent into Indian Territory to recruit American Indian tribes for the Southern cause."
