Answer
Caitlyn:

  I assume you mean Civil War.  Googling "civil war indians" or "civil war native americans" is one way to start.  Stand Waite was a Cherokee Confederate General, google him with quote marks around his name, that will bring up lots of information.

 Try googling "black union troops" or "negro troops", that will bring up lots of info on slaves who served in the Union army.
