The Confederacy actively sought Indian support during the Civil War by offering various incentives, including promises of land, autonomy, and military alliances. They aimed to secure the allegiance of Native American tribes, particularly those in the southwestern territories, by appealing to their interests and grievances against the Union. The Confederacy sought to leverage these alliances to strengthen their military position and disrupt Union supply lines. Some tribes did align with the Confederacy, while others remained neutral or sided with the Union.
