Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.
Last time Harv, Spike and Andre were here I think they were dealt with properly. I enjoyed Andre being wiped out. The urgent care was a blast. Nothing like a tipi setting up ceremony in your front yard.

I don't know if my answer fits into the options. The vast majority of the killing was done by introduced diseases which I do not think was on purpose. They were in the 'path of progress' and simply did not have the technology to defend themselves adequately from the get go. I do think that in the end of the creation of the states (mid-1850's on) they were not treated well at all. But again, right, wrong or indifferent, they were in the path of what was becoming the most powerful nation in the world. To me the reservations were a crappy afterthought of 'oh, maybe we didn't do this too well...'
So to answer your question, yes we didn't treat them properly but, they were just caught in the path of an unstoppable force.

The white race has trampled on, raped, murdered, exploited resources, spread corruption to every corner of this planet.
If you don't agree, you don't know your history.
Most of of it was done under the ludacris notion of spreading Christianity.
What's left was done under AND over greed.
Questioning whether or not the American Indians were treated unfairly is a joke.
I'm willing to bet our "Christian" ancestors paid dearly at pearly gates for what they did to other inferior races over the last 500 years.
I'm Northern Irish nobility with a smidgen of Scottish Rite.... I don't get all bothered, but think it's naive to even question the right or wrong of what "our" ancestors did.
The Cherokee and some other civilized tribes got screwed. But there were plenty of massacres on both sides. The Indians were not Saints either. A lot of tribes practiced ritual torture on their captives, and would rape, murder and rob from other tribes as well as the whites. The Sioux kicked 13 different tribes out of their territory when they took it. We were just a bigger tribe than them. Dont get me wrong. I have a lot of respect for the Indian cultures, but civilization and their life style were not compatible. Bog we are no better or worse than any other race. I know our history, probably better than you

The lesson to learn from history is this: When a big boat full of queers in funny outfits shows up on your dock trying to bum food and a place to stay...kill them all and burn that damn boat.
We should have nuked em.

We can pitter patter in semantics all day. Most eastern tribes were nothing like the greater tribes of the northern Midwest.
Granted written history was far better in 1820 than 200 years prior.
Trying to compare minuscule tribal warfare of Indians to continental genocide is laughable. The Americas, the Islands, Africa, India, Japan, Indo-Polynesia, Hawaii, .....the list goes on for eons.
40 people killing 12 people over winter food stores vs thousands of white men with rifles mass murdering entire tribes is quite certainly apples to oranges.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
I don't like Indian food.
