Some fought for the Confederacy, some fought for the Union, some remained uninvolved, and some got involved against one side, but not necessarily for the other side - for example, the Lumbi Indians found themselves at odds with the Confederacy due to the forced impressment of Lumbi Indians to build fortifications, but they had no allegiance to the Union. but most fought for the confederates.

One notable Union general was a Seneca Indian. He was one of Grant's most trusted advisers and wrote up the terms of surrender that General Lee accepted.

One notable Confederate general was from an Indian nation in Oklahoma. His was the last major Confederate army to surrender to the north, many weeks after Lee and Johnston and others had given up.
