The Gnadenhütten Massacre, (March 8, 1782), involved the murder of 96 Ohio Indians, mostly Delawares, by an American Revolutionary War officer, Captain David Williamson, and his militia at Gnadenhütten Village, south of what is now New Philadelphia, Ohio. The Indians, who had been converted by Moravian Brethren and were peaceful Christians, were under suspicion because of their neutrality in the war. Williamson and his 90 volunteers, seeking revenge for Indian raids on frontier settlements, pretended friendship and disarmed the tribe; on the following morning they slaughtered the villagers in cold blood. Two scalped boys escaped to relate the incident. A 9-acre memorial now marks the site of what has been called the greatest atrocity of that war.
Note that the atrocity was easily executed once the peaceful Indians had surrendered their arms. An armed populace may lose a battle or an even eventually a war, but led to the slaughter like sheep they will never be.
Thank you, Encyclopedia Brittanica.

“An armed populace may lose a battle or an even eventually a war, but led to the slaughter like sheep they will never be.”
Yet another good, but sad, example
Matt Rosendale had previously suspended his Senate campaign.
Now not seeking re-election to the House.
Wonder who talked to him?
Some segments of history are painful to read. This is one.
Mixed feelings about this we as British colonists came to America and actually were invaders to Indian property just like people are crossing our borders now and invaders
the difference being there was no official ownership of America when we came so we felt it was up for grabs.
but we did some atrocious things to the Indians and in turn they did atrocious things to us. I don’t know if we’ll ever know the full history of the wrongs that were on both sides but there definitely were wrongs
if reparations are due for anyone it’s for the Indians not the blacks or the Irish who were the first to be brought in as slaves
