Indian Cavalry

The Cherokee , Creek , Choctaw , Chickasaw , Seminole , and a few other tribes (like the Osage ) took part in the war. Before the war very few of the Indians of these tribes manifested any interest in the question of Slavery because only a small number owned slaves. Slavery among them was not regarded as it was among the Whites , for in many instances Indian-owned slaves acted as if they were equal to their masters. But the above-named tribes occupied valuable territory, and the Confederate authorities lost no time in sending agents among them to win them over.
