How were American Indians affected by the civil war?

During the Civil War, some American Indians fought for the Union, others fought for the Confederacy, and others stayed out of it. The Cherokee in Oklahoma split with more fighting for the Confederacy than fighting for the Union. No one knows if the Sioux were fighting for the Confederacy or simply killing the other Indian tribes that had cooperated with Union forces before the war. They killed many Crow Indians. An Indian tribe assisted General Sherman as he made his way north from Savannah through the Carolinas toward Richmond, Virginia. So many Indians joined the war, and many were left alone.
