President Abraham Lincoln needed soldiers to fight in the American Civil War for the Union. At this point, the C.S.A. was in control of the war after winning Manassas twice, drawing at Antietam, winning Seven Days, and other battles. Lincoln decided to draft soldiers, and no one was happy thus casuing a riot.
The Great Law of Peace was what bound together six Native-American Nations and turned them collevtively into the most powerful native tribe in North America, the Iroqouis Confederacy.
The constitution of the Iroquois Confederacy, known as the Great Law of Peace, demands that a lord, or chief, exhibit qualities such as wisdom, justice, and humility. Lords are expected to prioritize the welfare of the people, make decisions based on consensus, and uphold the principles of peace and unity among the member nations. They must also listen to the voices of their constituents and act with integrity, ensuring that their actions reflect the collective interests of the Confederacy.
The North American Native tribes had been treated badly by the US government. Some thought that forming some type of alliance with the Confederacy would be a better deal then being loyal at all to Washington DC. Both the Confederacy and the Native tribes had a common enemy, the USA. Thus the Creek, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Tribes signed treaties with the Confederacy.
The foundations of the government of the Iroquois Confederacy were built on the ideals of unity, peace, and collective decision-making. Their system emphasized cooperation among the five (later six) nations, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and mutual respect. The Great Law of Peace, which governed the confederacy, promoted democratic principles and consensus, ensuring that all voices were heard in the decision-making process. This framework aimed to maintain harmony and stability among the member nations while addressing common concerns.
After seceding, he would have been quite happy without a war, if Lincoln had granted official recognition to the Confederacy. But when Lincoln declared that he would defend Fort Sumter (which the Confederacy considered its own), and then called for new volunteer troops, Davis felt he had to mobilise.
In 1863, peace candidates in the Confederacy, often referred to as "peace Democrats" or "Copperheads," advocated for an end to the Civil War through negotiations rather than continued military conflict. They believed that a compromise with the Union was necessary to restore peace and preserve Southern autonomy. These candidates faced significant opposition from more radical factions who viewed them as traitors, leading to tensions within the Confederate states. Their efforts reflected the growing war fatigue and discontent among the Southern populace as the conflict dragged on.

No, they lost. It was a disaster for the Confederacy, and the blame is still being debated sharply to this day. By the way, it was not 1963, but 1863 - the news being announced on the Fourth of July, which was really rubbing it in.

The Iroquois confederacy help kept peace by establishing a council and made laws. But, still they had some affairs.
In the 17th century all five Indian trides formed a union. A union is also called a confederacy. Their government was called The Great Peace Law. The Tuscarora people later joined the Graet Peace Law, so then there were five tribes in the confederacy. the onondaga, mohawk, oneida, seneca, and cayuga.
