Late in April 1861, President Lincoln ordered Federal troops to evacuate forts in Indian Territory. That left the Five Civilized Tribes--Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles--essentially under Confederate jurisdiction and control. The American Indian and the End of the Confederacy, 1863-1866 , spans the closing years of the Civil War, when Southern fortunes were waning, and the immediate postwar period.
