Abstract
- The article discusses two recent additions to Civil War scholarship, Fay Yarbrough's "Choctaw Confederates" and William Kiser's "Illusions of Empire," which explore the involvement of Indigenous nations and Mexico in the American Civil War. Yarbrough's book focuses on the Choctaw Nation's support for the Confederacy, highlighting the role of slavery and masculinity in their decision. Kiser's work delves into the impact of the Civil War on the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, revealing the failed imperial ambitions of various powers in the region. Both books challenge traditional narratives of the Civil War and emphasize the interconnectedness of different conflicts during that era. [Extracted from the article]
