Information on SIOUX-AFRICAN heritage of a Civil War evader?

Question

A great, great-grandfather of mine was half Sioux and half African and fled the U.S. to avoid conscription during the Civil War. I'm looking for the following: where I could find info. on his possible location in U.S. before fleeing and info. on Sioux-African interaction and bloodlines in general. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. submitted on my original question. I actually don't know much more about him but he ended up in the Caribbean (Trinidad). At this point, just looking for general sites that might be relevant.

Answer 1

To the best of my knowledge neither Native Americans or Blacks were conscripted during the Civil War. There were Black Union Army units but they were volunteers.

Answer 2

Hey Dani Red,

Here are a few Lakota/Souix web sites that might help. If you gave more information about him, it might be possible to help more.
