"After signing the [surrender] papers, Grant introduced Lee to his staff. As he shook hands with Grant's military secretary Ely Parker, a Seneca Indian, Lee stared a moment at Parker's dark features and said, "I am glad to see one real American here." Parker responded, "We are all Americans."

nope. i meant what i said: what is your point????

that they accepted the Seneca officer as a HUMAN BEING???

the lincoln regime was RACIST to the core and HATED EVERY "injun". lincoln, the GREAT BLOODSPILLER, planned to KILL every one of us AND/OR "drive the godforsaken red savages from all our dominions, as they are in any measure fully human.".

(see the letter to Leonidas T. Braun of Boston,MA, dated feb 22, 1864.) all the anecdotes in the world won't cover that up.
