@monstercat, thoughts??
>This is Stand Watie, a Cherokee Native American-and the last Confederate general to surrender. After decades of abuse by the Federal Government, the Cherokee wanted to fight for the freedom of the South, for local autonomy, for the forests and the wilderness of their homeland.
>The Confederates promised to protect them from "the Northern states or any other enemy," to let them rule themselves "as long as the grass shall grow and the water run," and to let them send a delegate to the Confederate Congress.
>As a young man, Stand Watie converted to Moravian Christianity. During the war, he was one of the fiercest warriors for the South. Union reports said that his Cherokee braves "killed all the Negroes they could find", including wounded men. After the war, the Union punished the Cherokee, forcing them to adopt Black slaves into their tribes and stealing their ancestral lands.
