If I were a Native American back then I doubt that I would ever join forces with any Paleface.

Probably brought up (or brainwashed) by missionaries.
Is that some kind of disparaging remark?
I'm offended.
I looked up indians in the confederate army. Came up with one who was raised by missionaries. Thats what led me to post. As far as brainwashing, if you look at what they did to the indian children in their care, brainwashing fits.

Which "brand" of "missionaries" are you referring to? Many different sects or flat out cults out there mate.

Maybe General Lee offered them some firewater.
Of, maybe the Blue Coats killed one too many natives...
Indians had been fighting as hired mercenaries/scouts for various parties a solid century before the civil war.
French, English, Spaniards, Colonialists, the list goes on.
Their allegiance was largely based on who controlled territory at the moment and who could pay them the most.
There were indian scouts killed with Custer at Little Big Horn - And I'm not so sure they were "CSA soldiers" per se, more like paid guerillas who would and probably did align themselves with Union forces just as well.

I lump them all together.. Others can separate them as they choose. Remember we are talking about Indian missionaries in the 18,00’s.
