Age: 32
Birth State: Florida, USA
Description: Tall, dark skinned Creek-Seminole Native American.
Allegiance: CSA
History:

Born October 11, 1828 in the Panhandle of Florida along the Apalachicola River to a Seminole mother and a Creek Father, Tekamthi was raised as a member of the Seminole Tribe. 1829 was a bad year to be an Indian as the Seminole's old foe Andrew Jackson had been elected President of the United States. His father went off to fight in the Second Seminole War against the United States, leading the Village's warriors under the command of Chief Osceola. In 1837, under a flag of Truce, Chief Osceola as well as his companions, Tekamthi's father included, were captured by United States General Thomas Jesup. The resulting deaths of the imprisoned was hard on the young Tekamthi who was only nine at the time of his father's death.

By this time he and his mother had moved into the central part of Florida where there were it was safer for them to be. In May of 1841 fighting had all but stopped except for small skirmishes. A twelve year old Tekamthi decided he had to do something about how his people were dying. He was able to join with a warband led by Chief Tiger Tail. He started working as a messenger and then as a scout in 1842. By his 14th birthday, the fighting had all but stopped. The warband led by Tiger Tail was down to less than twenty warriors and Tiger Tail himself was very ill. That was when soldiers arrived and began moving them west to the Indian Territory. With little choice left, and no idea where his mother was, Tekamthi moved west.

The Indian Territory proved even more hostile than the swamps of his homeland. The Creeks raided the Seminole villages to sell slaves to the Southern Planters in the area. Fortunately for Tekamthi, he was a good leader and a better warrior. Soon his prowess at command had gotten the attention of even the Creeks who would avoid the villages under his protection. After securing an alliance with the Creek by declaring his father's ethnicity and his lineage he was able to calm the situation in the Indian territories down by 1846, which proved almost useless as the Mexican-American war was just about to begin.

The Mexican-American war began to the south of Tekamthi's new land. However, a warchief of the Creeks went with the Americans to fight Mexico. Relegated to home defense duty, Tekamthi was able to stop several Kiowa Apache raids on his people as well as prevent them from going into Texas proper to do damage to the delicate balance he was keeping with the White settlers there. By the end of the war in 1848, Tekamthi had become a prominent figure among many of the Indian Territory tribes known as the Five Civilized Tribes. As tensions rose in the lands around them, Tekamthi was able to steer his tribe as well as the Creeks out of major conflicts with other tribes or the Whites. As the Comanche and Texas fought in a war Tekamthi was forced to fight once again.

This time, he had to go on the offensive. In an attempt to thwart Comanche strength from overrunning the Indian Territories, Tekamthi joined forces with the Texas Rangers, leading several dozen of his finest warriors he would go forth and attack the Comanche who were bordering Indian Territory. Unfortunately, his Seminole warriors weren't the only Indian Allies of the Texans. Another tribe, The Tonkawa, were present. They were reviled by all of the other tribes for being cannibals. And upon victory over the Comanche their vile nature presented itself as they decorated horses with bloody body parts from their fallen foes. Returning home once again in 1858, Tekamthi had very little time to rest before the new set of Crises beset his people.

In June of 1861, the Southern half of the United States declared its independence from the Northern half. During this time there was discussion among the tribes as what they should do. While many wished to remain with the Union or remain neutral, others remembered the cruelty of the United States and wished to see it harmed. They began arming themselves and sent a delegation to the Confederate Capitol to be recognized as a State. While doing this a rival tribe of the Creek had done the opposite and declared themselves for the Union. Led by one of the most influential diplomats of the Creek People, Opothleyahola. In response, Tekamthi sent word to the CSA commander in Texas for support in rooting out the pro-Union chief Opothleyahola. Tekamthi began receiving supplies and arms through Texas, though was not told he could legally raise troops just yet, but to "Prepare for imminent warfare with Unionist Sympathizers."

Well, history showed more natives sided with the north.
Hoping to gain their respect by doing so.

The south wasn't too kind with natives either it just made most since for the southern tribes to join them.

Age: 45
Birthplace: Calhoun, Georgia
Description:
Class: Politician and Plantation owner. Just politician if can't be both.(Wealth kinda come with political power and vice versa.
Starting Wealth: 25,000
Income: (For Citizens, Spies, Journalists and Politicians)
Current State: Cherokee Nation
Civilian Skills:•Plantation and Influence
Biography: Stand Watie occasionally helped write articles for the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper, for which his older brother Elias served as editor from 1828-1832. The first Native American newspaper, the Phoenix published articles in both Cherokee and English.

Watie became involved in the dispute over Georgia's repressive anti-Indian laws. After gold was discovered on Cherokee lands in northern Georgia, thousands of white settlers encroached on Indian lands. There was continuing conflict, and Congress passed the 1830 Indian Removal Act, to relocate all Indians from the Southeast, to lands west of the Mississippi River. In 1832 Georgia confiscated most of the Cherokee land, despite federal laws to protect Native Americans from state actions. The state sent militia to destroy the offices and press of the Cherokee Phoenix, which had published articles against Indian Removal.

Believing that removal was inevitable, the Watie brothers favored securing Cherokee rights by treaty before relocating to Indian Territory. They were among the Treaty Party leaders who signed the 1835 Treaty of New Echota. The majority of the Cherokee opposed removal, and the Tribal Council and Chief John Ross, of the National Party, refused to ratify the treaty.


In 1835, Watie, his family, and many other Cherokee emigrated to Indian Territory. They joined some Cherokee who had relocated as early as the 1820s and were known as the "Old Settlers".
the Cherokee government carried out sentence against Treaty Party men for execution; their giving up tribal lands was a "blood" or capital offense under Cherokee law. Stand Watie, his brother Elias Boudinot, their uncle Major Ridge and cousin John Ridge, along with several other Treaty Party men, were all sentenced to death on 22 June 1839; only Stand Watie survived.

Currently, Watie represents the Cherokees who support the CSA. Whom are currently in a civil war of their own for the Cherokee nation and surrounding Indian Territory.
