When men refused to enlist (volunteer) for the Union Army (US Army) during the US Civil War (1861-1865), Uncle Sam DRAFTED THEM!
The "US Army's" policy was preserving the peace between the the White men and the Red men. The US Army seldom (if ever) went looking for trouble w/o authorization/orders. The army most often "responded" to complaints (like a police force), either from the Whites or the Red, it didn't matter, the army's mission was to maintain the peace and protect people on the frontier. When gold was discovered in the Black Hills South Dakota, the Whites began invading it...the Indians complained...and the US Army sent out patrols to arrest the white trespassers. Hollywood has trained the American public to believe that American Indians hated the US Army (they might have during actual battle, which is normal); when in fact they respected and trusted the US Army MORE than white civilians. The Red men knew that the US Army was following orders, and was a desciplined force of "warriors"; whereas they also knew that the white civilians were by an large, un-desciplined profit minded men.
