After the civil war started, the union withdrew all troops from these forts to occupy more "important" areas of the nation.Most Native American tribes signed treaties with the Rebels and became a part of the Confederate Military, but they were not supposed to fight outside of the Indian Territory. Though the Union did allow Native Americans to fight along with them Native Americans could not sign on to the Union. Most Native American Participation on the Union side was throughNative Americans were thus left without protection to many of the Aggressive Plain Indians and the Confederates.The Confederacy saw the Indian Territory as a means of supplies and resources such as cattle, grain, and soldiers.Many tribal leaders signed treaties with the Confederacy without any consensus of the tribe.Choctaw/Chickasaw fully sided with Rebel armyHalf of Creek and many Seminole members who wanted to stay neutral followed revered Upper Creek Leader Opothleyaholo.Cherokee were having internal conflict.

After constant attacks by Colonel Cooper and the rebel army, Opothleyaholo moved his forces into Kansas and stayed there.These battles, which all took place in 1861, were the first three of the Indian Territory and were unrelated to the Union campaign.From that point forward, battles took place between Confederate (Native Americans and Whites) and the Union (Indian Home Guard, Kansas Sympathizers and The first Kansas Colored).3 Indian Home Guards were created in Kansas. They contained mainly Native Americans.1 African American regiment was created, the First Kansas Colored Infantry.Kansas Militia/sympathizers came into the Indian Territory to return the "fugitive" natives.The Union led two invasions into Indian Territory. Led mainly by sympathetic Kansas militia and Indian refugees being forced back into Indian Territory, the first invasion met easy success. The second invasion saw the climactic battle of Honey Springs and was essentially the winning push for the Union in the Indian TerritoryStand Watie captured hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and supplies throughout his campaign.First Kansas Colored was extremely beneficially for the battle.Though the Confederacy had many outstanding hit-and-run wins, the Union all but won the battle of Indian Territory.Most major leaders of the Confederacy surrender to the Union with the exception of Stand Waite.Though the Union won the war, the Confederacy successfully plundered many outposts and supply trains totaling over $1 million.Stand Waite continued fighting months after the Civil War was over, but gained nothing and eventually became the last Confederate General to lay down arms.
