During the French and Indian War, The Iroquois Confederation dominated much of present-day Upstate New York and the Ohio Country, although the latter also included populations of Delaware and Shawnee.
In March of 1861, Sterling Price led the anti-secessionist convention in Missouri. Due to disagreements and poor communications with Missouri Unionists, Price ended up supporting the Confederacy. He led a Confederate militia group and later in 1862 was commissioned into the Confederate army as a major general.
John Wilkes Booth joined the Richmond Grays, a militia unit in Virginia, in April 1861, shortly after the outbreak of the Civil War. He was eager to support the Confederate cause and participate in the conflict. Booth's involvement in the militia was part of his broader commitment to the Southern cause prior to his infamous act of assassinating President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
The Iroquois did not allow war chiefs to participate in the Confederate Council because their role was primarily focused on military matters, while the council was dedicated to diplomatic decision-making and governance. The council comprised civil leaders who prioritized consensus, diplomacy, and maintaining peace among the member nations. This separation ensured that strategic military decisions did not overshadow the political and social objectives of the confederation. By keeping war chiefs out, the Iroquois aimed to uphold a balance between peace and war within their governance structure.
Two Civil War battles occurred at Manassas. The first, in July of 1861, saw Confederate troops led by Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard win a limited victory against Union forces. The second, in August of 1862, was decisively won by Confederate troops led by General Robert E. Lee.
