The American Indian: Slavery, Civil War and the Confederacy

The American Indian has served in every U.S. conflict since the beginning of America. In the Civil War, the Catawba, Cherokee, Chicksaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole tribes all fought for the Confederacy. While the Creek and Delaware tribes served the Union. Watch this video for details.

“Seminole American Indians with confederate soldiers” but you’re showing plains Indians? When did the seminoles or any eastern tribe have that type of clothing and that type of headdress?

[@aaron4wilkins]

Exactly. And those are not Confederate Officers either

[@jackiecarterjr.2944]

It is very clear, atleast to me, that the slavery that existed in this country was very different compared to other countries and cultures. Chattle slavery, which is what would better describe the type of slavery that existed in this country since it was colonized, is the most brutal, dehumanizing, and horrific type of slavery I've ever cone across in any of my readings on the subject

He’s nervous because it’s a lie. The indigenous ppl of the south were copper-colored. These ppl are middle eastern s and whyte ppl with grease on their skin. Blackface to pretend to have a blackface.

[@yourmom9951]

Lmao

[@Da60FOVDemon]

I mean, they were. They were looked upon poorly due to the fact most refused to give up their land to the European settlers that needed it. I don’t mean any offense but they did themselves no favors trying to fight Europeans that were willing to trade with them and assimilate them into their culture which led to many battles and killings of Indians

[@datmeme8967]

@@Da60FOVDemon Yeah, people should always just give up their land when someone else says they "need" it, right?

[@alphonse-louisvinh214]

Interesting documentary; however, it is Brigadier General Stand Watie CSA who was the highest ranking Indian general in the War Between the States. Lt Colonel Ely Parker USA was not the highest ranking Indian officer.

I’m sorry but the way he called Osceola mother a black women is disrespectful she was a Indian and from the chiefs family and his father was a English Indian trader his real name was Billy Powell

[@rickyevelynsheppard5994]

That's a proven lie and another attempt to whitewash and deflect history . Osceola was said to state that he had NO European blood in his veins . The disrespect is the constant high hacking of every culture . You probably never heard of Negro Abraham who was Osceola's uncle . Osceola is not even the correct spelling . Asi Yah Ola is the true spelling.

Osceola’s mother was not black. She was Muscogee Creek. He probably had a wife that was a runaway black slave though.
