btw, the ONLY reason that our people were NOT "driven from our dominions or exterminated" was that the elites of the federal government did NOT have the "modern means" to do that.

it was NOT for LACK of DESIRE and/or WANT of TRYING, that the Indian-HATERS failed in their "glorious crusade to cleanse the world of the "red, soulless savages"!

BS... if the Governement wanted every last native american dead, they certainly had the means to accomplish it. Your stand does not remotely stand up to reason.

When placed on trains for relocation they could have just as easily infected those trains with smallpox, or emptied gattling guns into the boxcars... or once on the new reservations lined them up and shot them all.

Claims of GENOCIDE are rediculous. Had the government wanted every last native american dead, there would indeed be none today.

If that was their goal, they could have carried it out.

The native american tribes were conquered. Genocide claims are just not supported remotely by facts.
