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."
