Get a copy of the book “for a few acres of snow“, by Robert Leckie (the marine of Guadalcanal, “helmet for my pillow“, and about 40 other history books).
He dispels any myths about the “noble red man” going back to the French and Indian war and before. They were human beings, just like us, and just like us. They had all of the same faults and failures and virtues and emotions that we have.
Our country was expanding; they were in the way. It’s the way it was back then, and nothing anyone says now or does now will change that.
As usual, it’s more leftist bullshit designed to separate and cause conflict.
Indians served honorably in World War II; a very famous American Indian Marine helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima.
They are part of us, part of our history, and as much American as we are, and the past should be left where it is… In the past, and we learn from it, both what not to do, and what to do to make things better.
I feel the same way about this as I feel about the renaming of Army posts, tearing down civil war statues and reparations: We should not try to tear down the past or pay for past transgressions to please some present group of supposed victims, none of them were there.
