Native American Confederates 1861-1865 🇺🇲 "The last Confederate troops to surrender in the Civil War were Native American... ...It was led not by one of the wealthy white southerners who made up much of the Confederacy's officer class — but by a Native American chief called Stand Watie. Watie raised a force of Native Americans to fight for the Confederacy as North and South went to war. It was the federal government, responsible for robbing Cherokee of their ancestral land, which Watie — in common with many of his people — saw as his main enemy, not the Confederacy. ....Many Cherokee were themselves slave owners, with some taking their slaves with them to Indian Territory after the forced resettlements west." #WhiteHistoryMonth #WHM2023 #EyesOnTheLiez #NativeAmerica #CivilWar #TheConfederacy #Slavery #Abolition #YuruguVirus #Yurugu #WeHaveNoFriends #Reparations 👣🦅♟️🪓🔗🏹 (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNR_h6OYOv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
