The Battle of Honey Spring.

Mid-Day July 17,1863 Union and Confederate forces met at Honey Spring, in and effort to control Indian Territory, in Oaklahoma. what makes this Battle unique is that this was the first time during the Civil War, Whites Soldiers were the Minority, in both Forces.African and Native Americans made up the bulk of both fighting forces.Infact in the heat of battle the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry held the Center of the Union line that day,and repulsed a direct Confederate charge.

I love American Black History. I started researching from 1505 Forward.And I stumble up on Native American who own Slaves,and then I came upon the Battle of Honey Spring. This research will take me from the trail of tears, into the Oaklahoma Territory.Throughout the 1800 we find Black American, and Native American History interwind.And we will find that the Southeastern part of the United State, and the Oaklahoma Territory, are a treasure chest of Black American, and Native History.
