Confederate units of Indian Territory
(Redirected from Oklahoma Civil War Confederate Units)
Confederate Units of Indian Territory consisted of Native Americans from the Five Civilized Tribes — the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole nations.[1] The 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles were commanded by the highest ranking Native American of the war: Brig. Gen. Stand Watie, who also became the last Confederate General to surrender on June 23, 1865.[2] There was also a series of Union units of Indian Territory.
