"Confederate leaders had offered them government positions for assisting the south" best explains the reasons why Native Americans were undecided on which side to choose in the Civil War

Option - c

Explanation:

Native Americans represented in both the State and the Confederate Armed forces during the American Revolution. Many of the tribal groups saw the Confederacy as a better option because of their opposition to a primary federal system that lacks respect for the sovereign rights of Indian nations.

In regards, several Native Americans, like the River and the Choctaw, have been slave owners and have found social and economic similarity with the Confederate states.
