The Cherokee split during the Civil War, largely over the question of slvery. Some fought for the North. Many fought for the South [along with some of the Choctaw,Creeks and Seminoles].

Stand Watie, a Cherokee, was a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army, and, if I remember correctly, one of the last Confederates to surrender
