And as a a matter of courtesy, stand watie has asked you to refrain from capitalizing his name. He is half Native American, I am far less (Creek), but even my limited knowledge & participation in native customs/ceremonies, such requests have a spiritual meaning and reverence that I wish would be respected.

He respects my people, I'll respect his. The things he says about Lincoln is inexcusable. I grew up in a town that has historical markers telling what Lincoln did here. I have family that lives on a Lincoln historical site. I don't respect people unless I feel they deserve it and the things Stand Watie says about American soldiers and his fellow Americans are despicable lies and he is despicable.

"Resolved, That the elective franchise should be kept pure from contamination by the admission of colored votes."
That got Lincoln's vote, January 5, 1836.

There is what the racist Lincoln did there. The racist Lincoln voted for racist Illinois Black laws.
