Stand Watie (The War of Secession)

Stand Watie is the Principle Chief of the Cherokee Nation (elected in 1862) and has aligned the Cherokee with the Confederate States of America. Officially the Cherokee Nation has split; those supporting the Union have left those supporting Watie. Stand Watie fights both the Union, other Cherokee, and other native tribes as Principle Chief of the Southern Cherokee Nation as it has been called to distinguish it from the followers of John Ross.
