Answer:

Cherokee leader John Ross sent a a letter to Abraham Lincoln in 1862. In this document, Ross stated that the growing pressure over his people forced them to support the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Also, he claimed for the Union to ratify the existing treaties in order to maintain the inegrity and  welfare of the Cherokee Nation. Ross however, stated that his people supported the Union cause.

A second source of the letter is the analysis that you can find in the book "The Cherokee Diaspora" by Gregory Smithers which provides new elements over the motivation of Ross when wrote the letter and also the deep division within the Cherokees.

By reading the book, the readers can find the motivations why Ross and a part of the Cherokee nation were reluctant to side one of the factions during the Civil War. Also, readers can understand what happened aftermath and the consequences still remained until 21st century.

After the war, why did some southerners argue that the war was not about slavery?
vredina [299]

Answer:

In this way, the historiography of the Civil War is somewhat unique. Rarely in human history has a conflict’s losing side been lent such considerable say in how the textbooks remember it. As such, American social studies curricula have long been hobbled by one of the most pervasive myths in US history: that the Civil War was fought to preserve (or undermine) the spectral concept of “states’ rights.”

a: communist countries

During Cold War, it started right after the WW2 ended and finished in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the United States and the Sovietic Union  were fighting over political ideology dividing the world in two: capitalist and communist blocs.

Both great powers did not get to have direct  armed conflicts, instead there were indirect hostilities in third countries territories. These conflicts were sponsored by the US or the Sovietic Union: for example in the Missile Cuban Crisis, 1962, the American air force base were in the south of the island and the Sovietic missile bases were place in La Habana, the north of the island.

During the Vietnam war, the American bases were in south Vietnam and the Sovietic bases were in north Vietnam.
