Reply to comment by Acrobatic-Date-7273 in TIL of John R. Baylor the self-proclaimed 'governor' of Arizona who was a Confederate Colonel whose self-appointment was later approved by Jefferson Davis. Baylor gave orders to exterminate the indigenous Apache and when Davis got wind of it he rescinded the orders as well as Baylor's governorship. by ChronosBlitz

I would guess it's because Native Americans fought for the confederacy but i can't remember which groups exactly maybe not the Apache think it may have been the Cherokee
