What was the Wabanaki Confederacy?
352524
The Wabanaki (Eastern) Confederacy was a coalition of five Algonquian tribes of the eastern seaboard, banded together in response to Iroquois aggression. These tribes--the Abenaki, the Penobscot, the Maliseet, the Passamaquoddy, and the Mi'kmaq--each retained their own political leadership, but collaborated on broader issues such as diplomacy, war, and trade. The confederation officially disbanded in 1862, but the five tribes remain close allies, and the Wabanaki Confederacy lives on in the form of a political alliance between these historically friendly nations. \n\nThere is some confusion associated with the term "Wabanaki." It literally means "people of the dawn" or "dawnland people," meaning easterners, and at times all five tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy have referred to themselves this way. Also, the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet of New Brunswick collectively refer to themselves as Wabanaki, and some information about these two tribes has this name on it. Finally, the Abenaki, though their name clearly has the same Algonquian root, are not identical to the Wabanaki--they are one constituent tribe, and though a Maliseet may be referred to as a Wabanaki, he is not an Abenaki.

Both were seen as opportunists.\n\nScalawags is a derogatory term (originally describing worthless livestock) applied to native white Southerners who supported the federal reconstruction plan and cooperated with the blacks in order to achieve their ends. Some of the scalawags were entirely above board, having opposed the Confederacy in earlier times and later wanted a new South to emerge from the rubble. Others cooperated with or served in the Republican governments in order to avail themselves of money-making opportunities.\n\nCarpetbaggers is also a term of derision, but applied to Northerners who went South during Reconstruction, motivated by either profit or idealism. The name referred to the cloth bags many of them used for transporting their possessions, but today is applied to any recently arrived opportunist. Despite the negative connotation of the name, many carpetbaggers were sincerely interested in aiding the freedom and education of the former slaves.

John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, Bloody Kansas participant, pretty much violent and deranged. He hated slavery and wanted to get all the slaves to go against the whites (even though Brown was a white). Go Russia!

The sport was invented by Native North Americans. Its name was dehuntshigwa'es in Onondaga ("men hit a rounded object"), da-nah-wah'uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee ("little war"), Tewaarathon in Mohawk language ("little brother of war"), and baaga'adowe in Ojibwe "bump hips". The game was named lacrosse by early French observers.

Trick question.  Virginia split into Virginia and WEST Virginia at the time, when Virginia joined the confederacy, and West Virginia remained in the Union.

ZERO.  And allow me to say that I am really surprised at the ignorance about this.  If anyone would care to look it up, this was yet, another horrible thing that was forced upon the true Native Americans (Cherokee) by Andrew Jackson with the so called Indian Removal Act.  4,000 men, women and children died.  This was a forced death march from the East all the way into Oklahoma.  Some managed to escape but most did not.  This story breaks my heart.

An indian tribe living in what is now Virginia\n\nExtract from http://www.native-languages.org/powhatan.htm\n\n"People: The name "Powhatan" has caused a lot of confusion. Originally it was the name of the town the chief Wahunsunacock came from. This chief later united and/or conquered much of what is now Virginia, and called his lands the Powhatan Empire and himself Chief Powhatan (English lords did the same thing, if you think about it.) Modern-day Powhatans trace their roots to this powerful but short-lived empire.\n\nHistory: The Powhatan Confederacy--more of an empire or a fiefdom, really--was made up of several Algonquian tribes united by an early seventeenth-century ruler, Wahunsunacock, better-known as Chief Powhatan. Though Powhatan is known today primarily as the father of the highly romanticized heroine Pocahontas, in fact he was a powerful leader who controlled most of eastern Virginia. The marriage of Pocahontas to a prominent settler was meant to ensure peace between the Powhatan and British Empires, but she and her father both died prematurely, and after a few ill-fated attempts at rebellion, the Powhatan Confederacy was destroyed by the British in 1644. Several of the original member tribes of the old Powhatan Confederacy, including the Pamunkey, Mattaponi, and Chickahominy tribes, still make their homes on their ancestral lands in Virginia. Other Powhatan survivors fled northward, to Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and took refuge with survivors of the similarly decimated Lenape. Their descendants live there together today to this day. "
