...when 5 other states sided with the Confederacy instead of supplying troops to kill other Southerners.

Your math is as creative as your version of history. Following the attack on Sumter only 4 states joined the rebellion - Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

Ever wonder why most American Indians fought for with the Confederacy, the largest contingency being the Cherokees, read the reason. No Indian, then or now, trusts the lying ass Federal government, who tried to wipe the Indian off the face of the earth.

“Menaced by a great danger, they exercise the inalienable right of self-defense, and declare themselves a free people, independent of the Northern States of America, and at war with them by their own act. Obeying the dictates of prudence and providing for the general safety and welfare, confident of the rectitude of their intentions and true to the obligations of duty and honor, they accept the issue thus forced upon them, unite their fortunes now and forever with those of the Confederate States, and take up arms for the common cause, and with entire confidence in the justice of that cause and with a firm reliance upon Divine Providence, will resolutely abide the consequences”.
