On Civil War Journal there was a good show about Indians in the CW . It was very well balanced concentrating on the story of Ely Parker who was grants aide de camp and at first not allowed to join the Union Army, Stan Waite we all know him and I forgot the name of a 19 year old Lumby (sp?) who led his tribe and run away slaves against the Confederates in NC who conscripted his people to work has slave building Ft.Fisher. There was we know a schitzophrenic policy by both the Union and the CSA in that they both recruited Indians and both tried to kill and destroy Indians from tripes that did not support them. The Union showed its gratitude towards the Indians after the CW in a story well known to present day Indians with many ex confederates assisting them . This show should be seen by all at least high schooll students and at least by all young Indians to give them some perspective on their unique history.
