INDIAN WARRIORS: The Untold Story of the Civil War
The common view of the American Civil War has always been largely black-and-white: North versus South, rural versus urban, slaveholders versus abolitionists. However, from the conflict’s origins to the complicated progression of its major events, the reality of what took place is far more complex.
In this documentary film discover one of the more obscure, yet fascinating aspects of the Civil War era: the contribution of thousands of Native American soldiers.
With the help of respected authors Thom Hatch and Lawrence Hauptman, this compelling program reconstructs the forgotten stories of such men as Ely Parker, the Seneca leader who fought alongside General Ulysses Grant, Stand Waite, a highly skilled Confederate General and member of the Cherokee Nation, and Lumbee Indian Henry Berry Lowrie, who led a group of philanthropic outlaws during the conflict.
