Answer 1

None of the following are the reasons as to why the five tribes of Native Americans supported and fought alongside the confederate army during the American Civil war.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most natives viewed the confederates as the better option because the confederates opposed the idea of the central and federal government system.

They thought this government system lacked respect for the Native American sovereignty. Furthermore, native tribes like the Choctaw and the Creek used to hold slaves and they found an economic and political similarity with the Confederates.

Thus most of the Native American tribes forced up with the confederacy.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) the Confederacy allowed Native Americans to send representatives to the new Congress.

The statement that was a reason why the Five Tribes supported the Confederacy during the Civil War is "the Confederacy allowed Native Americans to send representatives to the new Congress."

On July 12, 1861, members of the Five Tribes and the Confederacy reached an agreement to accept their Native American Tribes into the Confederated States of America and to send some representatives to the confederated Congress. Of course, the Confederates assured the Native American Indians that the Confederates would protect the Indian's land.
