PERPETUAL PEACE   

The United States began making treaties with the Native Americans as early as 1778. These treaties continued until 1868. One of the notable treaties was made in 1784. This treaty was made with the “Six Nations” and carries that name. The treaty spoke of ‘Perpetual Peace’.

MILITARY SERVICE

Native Americans and African Americans have always been an integral part of the military history of the United States. Even while the African American was a slave they have been incorporated into the military system to bring victory to the military entanglements. Slaves made the difference in the Civil War. Their presence brought victory to the Union military forces. The slaves participated in their own liberation.
