Seriously. The Wyoming Valley War was the subject of dozens of pamphlets and newspaper stories. After the War, when the movement West started, pioneers had preconceived notions about Indians, and the tribes did nothing to convince them otherwise. Demanding bribes for crossing their turf, stealing horses and cattle to eat, just for fun, did nothing to make things better.
Then, the War of 1812, and the British tried to buy Indian help, with bounties on scalps, and payment in scalping knives. The Indians demanded the fun of torturing prisoners as a perk.
Andrew Jackson and the Trail of Tears had a LOT of public support. All this gets left out of history. And for idiots like Hogg, the facts don't matter, anyhow.
As for the snowflakes, I'm estimating 25,000,000 dead...
I’ve done my fair share of reading what the native savages did to settlers and colonists. A lot of what they did you couldn’t even write about even today. Most of the torture was so demonic that it’d make ISIS blush.
So yeah I get why the Trail of Tears was popular (and even Wounded Knee).
And you aim low with your snowflake estimate, but that’s just MHO.
