I barely get through a day with a few hours of free time, I am supposed to read books and watch documentaries and meditate on the consequences of slavery? Do I also need to study up on the disadvantages women faced and the plight of the native Americans?

*** and the plight of the native Americans?***

Those Native Americans joined the Confederacy in the Civil War.

The tribes that made or were negotiating treaties with the Confederacy.
Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Comanches, Wachitas, Kiowas, Pottawattamies, Chickasaws, Osages, Seminoles, Senecas, Shawnees, Quawpaws.

The South also had Indian agents operating all throughout the High Plains and mountain region stirring up other tribes such as the Sioux, Cheyenne, Navajo and Apaches to make war on the Union at that time.
Their traditional enemies, Pawnee, Kaw, Osage (well, part of them), Crow, remained loyal to the Union.

“There is little doubt that the recent outbreak in the Northwest has resulted from the efforts of secession agents operating through Canadian Indians and fur-traders.”—Mr Giddings, US Counsul-general in Canada
