Briefly describe the ties between the South and American Indians in Indian Territory that impacted which side American Indians chose to join during the Civil War.

There were five main ties that the South had in Indian Territory that influenced the decision made by American Indians about the war. The South’s main political tie to the region lied in the fact that the majority of Indian agents in the territory were from the South. This allowed them to communicate with the Five Tribes and influence decisions they made. American Indians in the Indian Territory also sold the majority of their crops to the South, who they relied on for economic support. American Indians also had family ties in the South, which affected their loyalties to the region. Many American Indians also had cultural ties to the South, which meant that they supported slavery.
