The Indians were soon enough swept by the war into a vortex of confusion and chaos. Abel makes clear that their participation in the conflict brought only devastation to Indian Territory. \u003cp\u003eBorn in England and educated in Kansas, Annie Heloise Abel (1873–1947) was a historical editor and writer of books dealing mainly with the trans-Mississippi West. They include \u003ci\u003eThe American Indian as Slaveholder and Secessionist\u003c\/i\u003e (1915), also reprinted as a Bison Book. Abel's distinguished career is noted in an introduction by Theda Perdue, the author of \u003ci\u003eSlavery and the Evolution of Cherokee Society\u003c\/i\u003e (1979), and Michael D. Green, whose \u003ci\u003ePolitics of Indian Removal: Creek Government and Society in Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e (1982) was published by the University of Nebraska Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Annie Heloise Abel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615793537404,"sku":"9780803259195","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780803259195_0c47a0c3-18f2-4dab-b5e6-da2d3bd58fc9.jpg?v=1726576894","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-american-indian-in-the-civil-war-1862-1865","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
