Late in April 1861, President Lincoln ordered Federal troops to
evacuate forts in Indian Territory. That left the Five Civilized
Tribes--Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and
Seminoles--essentially under Confederate jurisdiction and control.
"The American Indian and the End of the Confederacy, 1863-1866,"
spans the closing years of the Civil War, when Southern fortunes
were waning, and the immediate postwar period. Annie Heloise Abel
shows the extreme vulnerability of the Indians caught between two
warring sides. "The failure of the United States government to
afford to the southern Indians the protection solemnly guaranteed
by treaty stipulations had been the great cause of their entering
into an alliance with The Confederacy, "she writes. Her classic
book, originally published in 1925 as the third volume of "The
Slaveholding Indians," makes clear how the Indians became the
victims of uprootedness and privation, pillaging, government
mismanagement, and, finally, a deceptive treaty for reconstruction.
