The 2nd flag is the 1st Choctaw Battalion's flag. The last flag was used by all of the Five Civilized Tribes at times. The Cherokees were the last to join the Confederacy during the Civil War out of the Five Civilized Tribes. Which were the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminoles. It wasn't because of them having objections either. The Principal Chief John Ross and his rival Stand Watie, who were both slaveholders with substantial property, they had a lot of infighting going on that started after the signing of the Treaty of New Echota in 1835. The traditionalist members of the secret Keetoowah society were sympathetic to the Union. There were sentiments of neutrality for sure. Some switched sides. Other than that, the Cherokees were aligned with the Confederacy. These we wuz da Indians black folks aren't telling you about this are they. Albert Pike led a Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Creek regiment known as Pike's Indian Brigade. Oh yeah any black person that calls themselves a Creek Indian is a liar. That's not their name...how you don't know your true name.. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6i3THYBWpS/?igshid=1hv9ckxwtyoqr
