Read the accounts of the Sand Creek Massacre. Chivington's men went on an orgy of butchery that would have made the SS cringe. Depredations on Indians by whites? Absolutely and in spades.

"Ours" was a civilized, Christian culture, or at least we like to think so. We should have done better.

I don't think that counts as equavlent, because it was a battle, and stuff happens in war. I'm talking about just for fun, torture.

I have. What the Soldiers found in the camp of these "innocent Indians" will interest you.
A blanket fringed with the scalps of white women.
Scalps of men and boys so fresh they had not been tanned or streached on hoops yet.

"...What says the dust of the two hundred and forty and eight men, women, ranchers, emigrants, herders, and soldiers, who lost their lives at the hands of these Indians? Peaceble? Now we are peaceably disposed, but decline giving such testimonials of our own peaceful proclivities, and I say here as I said in my own town, in the Quaker country of Clinton, State of OHIO, one night last week, I STAND BY SAND CREEK!"
J. M. CHIVINGTON 1883

"Colonel Chivington's speech was received with an applause from every pioneer which indicated that they, to a man, heartily approved of the course of the colonel twenty years ago, in the famous affair in which many of them took part, and the man who applied the scalpel to the ulcer which bid fair to destroy the life of the new colony, in those critical times, was a doubt the hero of the hour."

It was the depredations by the likes of Chivington and his ilk that set the example for the Nazis and encouraged Hitler and his goons to their deviltry, and in various sources they said so, explicitly.
