Every time I see one of these,”research” reports about Native Americans who fought in either the confederacy, or the union, I cannot help but to cringe. No one seemed to want to do the actual research and discover that it wasn’t just the 5 nations that fought. The Catawba are always left out of the articles.
Needless to say, that it wasn’t just the civil war that dwindled their numbers, it was also an outbreak of small pox.

I live in Marion County. I have letters from my GGG Grandma talking about when she was a girl during the War between the States. She said Native American Confederate States Soilder’s would Raid there smoke house at night and take all the meat.
