the blacks they professed to love & my people, the American Indians, suffered worse fates than the whites because the DAMNYANKEES HATED BOTH GROUPS and saw us as NON-HUMAN.

That's why, when General Pope submitted a list of 303 indians he proposed to hang, that President Lincoln told him to take no action until he could review the trial transcripts, and that's why he pardonedcummuted sentences for 264 of the indians.
