don’t forget the Fort Mims massacre, where as many as 400 settlers and militia were murdered and scalped by indians.

And let’s not forget that the U.S. stopped SS St. Louis from docking in 1939. The ship was sent back to Europe. Of the 907 Jewish refugees aboard, almost 300 died in Nazi death camps.

And to top it off, many of the soldiers were given the Medal of Honor.

Around 90 Indians were killed by Pennsylvania militia in the Gnadenhütten Massacre in Ohio in 1782. And dozens of settlers were killed by Creek Indians at Fort Mimms, Ala. in 1813.

I take the point, but it’s a poor comparison. This was a time of war between the US and militant native Americans. You may as well include the American Civil War as the greatest mass killing in the US.

It was reported yesterday that this was the 20th or 21st mass shooting under obama. That begs the question: how many mass shooting occured under Bush 43 and Bill clownton?

A larger massacre than Wounded Knee was committed in 1813 by Alabama Creek Indians against whites and westernized Creeks:

That is correct. The number was 297 killed. 200 of them were women and children. This has been quietly brushed aside by the liberal media.
