***Your revisionist histories don’t pass the smell test.***

Revisionist histories? There was large ammount of mythology made up about the Sand Creek batle, from them being peaceful Indidans (they wern’t), being influenced by Confederate agents to continue on the warpath(debatable), a flag pole ( none seen by anyone there), the number of Indidans killed, over 600 ( Not nearly that many),the baby abandoned in the snow ( The Indian women captives abandoned the baby)!

All these were DEBUNKED in the original inquests into the battle over 140 years ago! Definitly not “revisionist” history! Go to the original sources at the time!

Yeah, inquests like those we have today into Chris Dodd's Countrywide dealings? There is way too much evidence that warriors were not in the camp and that many soldiers refused to engage in the massacre. It was a massacre, pure and simple - and wrong.
