The three ethnic groups that fought in the Civil War were whites, African Americans, and Native Americans. They all fought for distinctly different reasons.
Native Americans grew many things but the three main crops they grew are all vegetables, and they are corn, beans, and squash. These three vegetables are also known as the three sisters. (Native Americans call corn maize.)
Mexican Americans, Native Americans and Americans
Native Americans planted the three sisters. That is beans, corn, and squash.
It is because the native Americans have a lot of land and also the native Americans land have a lot of native and wild animals feeding on it.
