As someone who collects old history books and lives in the part of the country founded first and foremost, I have read a LOT on the Indian wars
It wasn’t us who tried to do the extincting, it was the Indians, and they started doing it when the outnumbered us 1000 to one. Thank God for the Flintlock.
The Indians used to capture white settlers and sell them to the French as slaves during the 1600’s and 1700’s.
Is that why Confederates feel such sympathy for them and blame Yankees? Maybe so...
Wow, you're either deliberately misrepresenting the truth, or you're completely ignorant because all you know is the biased accountings of those of just one side that tried to justify their actions. It's not that your statements are completely false, it's that they completely deny the rest of the truth...that Native Americans took sides with each side of the settling Europeans...for the ones that sided with the French and did those things (notice that you admit the French were BUYING the slaves and creating the market for them), there were those that sided with the British and committed the exact same crimes or worse, as each was prompted by their European "allies" to do so (you paint a worse picture of the Europeans, in case you didn't realise it). Each did what they did at the bidding and prompting of their European allies. Look up "complicity" in the dictionary and you'll find the source of those things you mentioned.

Absolutely not. The South was subjected to the sociopathic and demonic actions of the union criminals just prior to their ultimate genocidal disgrace of Old Glory against the Plains Indians. That's a common bond we share with those Native Americans. And, the fact that nearly all Southerners have Native American ancestry (yes, we're multi-racial) only makes that bond stronger.
