$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('litesong', ' ')U.S. revered leader, Lincoln hung 38 members of Native Tribes.

That is a famous incident from the Dakota War of 1862. The natives started it by slaughtering over 800 white settlers. The US Army defeated them, capturing 304 prisoners, from which President Lincoln selected 39 to be executed. Then he pardoned one old chief and executed the remaining 38, still the largest mass execution in US history.

Which doesn't even begin to compare with what Andrew Jackson did. He was a famous general who fought in multiple indian wars, before forcibly relocating the survivors in the famous Trail of Tears. Then after becoming president, he established a Federal bounty of $8 per Indian scalp.

Most people remember these things because Lincoln founded the GOP and Jackson founded the Democrats. Niether one liked Indians, nor did very many back then, in spite of Hollywood revisionist history.

The wiki says 303 Sioux were condemned to death after the 1862 war but Lincoln reviewed the evidenced and commuted the sentence of all but 38 who were convicted of murder and rape

Thanks for your historical accuracy here, dis.

That happened just an hour drive from where I live. My brother-in-law participated in the last commemoration of the event, still fresh in the minds of many local native peoples.

The local MN website:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')The over 600 who were killed compares with 615 battlefield deaths of Minnesota Civil War soldiers. Most of the over 600 who were killed in Minnesota were unarmed non-combatants and most were killed within a 6-week period, whereas those in the Civil War were spread out over a 4-year period. There may have been a little over 100 Dakota who were killed, with very few or possibly no women and children. In contrast, over 100 white women and over 70 white children who were 10 or under were killed.

When looking at a daily toll of victims, there were over 200 killed on August 18, 1862 whereas there were about 235 soldiers killed with General George Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876. There were only up to six Dakota who were killed on August 18, 1862 in Minnesota. It was a massacre, with the Dakota targeting men, women and children.

"they were the aggressors "



Really kj, you really do slay me.

Soooooooooooo, if a whole continent came and took over your land and banished you to the poorest lands, and then if you ever stayed any kind of marginally effective resistance, you were called the 'AGGRESSORS' and so you and all you knew were hung for such an 'offense'


...then...would you feel that justice really was done.

Oh.

But I'm sorry.

That would require that you could exercise some minimal level of imagination and compassion.

And that of course would be asking far, far too much of you...

My apologies...

Please carry on as you were...

Why do all the Ds rioting in the street even want Hillary? Don't they even know that Hillary is the candidate of the Wall Street takeover of the D party?

It would more useful for the D demonstrators to demonstrate AGAINST HILLARY and AGAINST THE DNC. those are the folks responsible for selling out the D party to the billionaires and Wall Street banksters and abandoning the white working class voters to Trump

[Cog]

Your are asking the rioters to form complex thoughts and analyze why they really lost the election. That is expecting a bit too much.

I'm imagining you in a tie-dyed shirt and your hair in a pony-tail with a strong smell of patchouli and BO. Am I pretty close?

The backlash against Hillary losing has started and it is nasty:

Some people don't know how to lose graciously. Give a handshake when you get fired, and move on. The reaction to this is bizarre:
