[nc] Does this mean that the U.S. recognized the various Indian tribes as countries?

Lincoln's successors gave the Indians the same thing Lincoln gave the South: bullets and buckets of blood.

Only Lincoln wouldn't even give the Southerners a treaty to go along with the canister and gunpowder.

At least he didn't try to spread smallpox in the South.
