Fun Fact: Albert Pike, one of the co-founders of the Knights of the Golden Circle (which became the Klu Klux Klan during Reconstruction), liked Amerindians and hated Negroes/Mulattoes. Considering his high position in Freemasonry and the fact that he wrote a book on the Indo-Aryan deities of the Rig Veda in the 19th century, I think he probably knew about the Ancient North Eurasians (Proto-Amerindians) connection to Steppe (Proto-Indo-Aryan) and wanted to mix the White Southerners with the Cablocos of Central/parts of South America through Slavery in Golden Circle.
>In the early summer of 1831, Albert Pike broke away completely from his successful teaching career and started for the west on foot. He traveled, explored, traded, and lived with the Indians. He learned their language and customs. His honesty when dealing with them, his straightforward approach when discussing a problem, or clearing away a misunderstanding, won for him the confidence of the Indians. He settled in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1833
>Pike built an impressive mansion in Little Rock in 1840, which contained thirteen rooms. He transferred his law practice to New Orleans in 1851, and practiced before the Supreme Court of the United States. He returned to Little Rock in 1857 and lived there until the outbreak of the Civil War. He was made a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army, and Commissioner for negotiating treaties with the Indians whose claims against the United States Government he prosecuted afterwards
>At the beginning of the war, Albert Pike was appointed as Confederate envoy to Native Americans. In this capacity he negotiated several treaties, one such treaty was the Treaty with Choctaws and Chickasaws conducted in July 1861
