I plead guilty to semantic quibbling. It was directly related to the Civil War because the Indians thought they could defeat the whites while most of the soldiers were away fighting.

Unfortunately for the Indians, they failed to take into account the American artillery with spherical case-shot and Hotchkiss time fuzes. Sort of like the Taliban vs. the USAF smart bombs.
