And if they needed any guidance on genocide they had the Southern actions in the Cherokee expulsion to go by.
Au contraire, Non-Sequitur. The United States Government's actions in the Cherokee removal did not involve a program of deliberate genocide. Land-grabbing and relocation, yes, the United States government and United States troops did do that with the removal, there's no doubt. But not genocide. Only your union heroes like like Sherman have a right to the genocidal claim to fame. Or should that be infamy?
