"The American Indian as Slaveholder and Secessionist" by Annie Heloise Abel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the complex role of Native Americans during the Civil War, focusing specifically on their participation as slaveholders and secessionists. The book seeks to address misconceptions about Native American involvement in a conflict largely viewed through the lens of white Americans, revealing how these communities navigated their political allegiances and economic interests during tumultuous times. The opening of the book sets the stage for an examination of the historical context in which various Indigenous tribes found themselves during the years leading to the Civil War. It outlines the impact of federal policies and the territorial adjustments that relocated numerous tribes to Indian Territory, positioning them amid the conflicts brewing between the North and South. The author emphasizes the strategic importance of Indian Territory for both the Confederacy and the federal government, discussing how slaveholding Indians aligned themselves with Southern states. The narrative touches on the deep-seated complexities of tribal politics, their interactions with both federal and Confederate forces, and hints at the internal divisions that shaped their responses to the broader national crisis.
