Description
Confederate Treaty Appropriations for Six Indian Tribes, ca. 1864. Four pages, 8" x 10.5", n.p., giving the "Estimate of appropriations required to comply with Treaty stipulations entered into between the Confederate States and Certain Indian Tribes"; those tribes included the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Osage, and Seminoles.Between July and October 1861, the Confederate States entered into separate treaties with each of these tribes (the Choctaw and Chickasaw being part of the same treaty) which required the Confederate government to pay specified annuities, interest, provisions (some for education, "wagonmakers, black-smiths, shops, iron steel & agricultural purposes"), and "other payments, amounts, and allowances." This document, which cites specific articles from the various treaties, lists in the right margin of each page amounts and totals for these monetary obligations which were to accrue during 1864 and 1865 for each tribe and were "to be paid to the Treasurers of the Nation." According to the document, the Choctaw and Chickasaw amounts totaled $61,126.89, the most expensive for the Confederate government. The Creek amounts totaled $40,920.00, the second largest expenditure.
Following the initial formation of the Confederate States of America, the government quickly negotiated treaties with all major southern Indian tribes. The tribes hoped to guarantee greater freedom from the Confederate States than they had from the United States. On lined paper. Fine condition.
