Actually it is status quo as far as how the Federal Government treated the Unionist Indians. For those who don't know, the American Indians status was just above the slaves and just below women. The slaves got the right to vote immediately after the War, the American Indian and Women had to wait until 1920,,,,

I read an account that said the Confederates approach to the Indians of Indian Territory was no better. This is what got General Albert Pike in hot water with General Hindman.
