The American Indian As Slaveholder And Secessionist: An Omitted Chapter In The Diplomatic History Of The Southern Confederacy (1915) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780548992104)

""The American Indian As Slaveholder And Secessionist"" is a historical book written by Annie Heloise Abel in 1915. The book sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of the Southern Confederacy's history by examining the role played by Native American tribes in the South during the Civil War. Abel argues that Native American tribes were active participants in the Confederacy, owning slaves and supporting secession. The book provides a detailed account of the political and diplomatic relationships between the Confederacy and Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, and Seminole nations. The author also explores the complex and often contradictory attitudes of Native Americans towards the Confederacy, as well as the impact of the war on their communities. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of American history, providing a fresh perspective on the Civil War and the role of marginalized groups in shaping the course of the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
