[Non-Sequitur]

He didn't blame it on Lincoln, he blamed it on Sherman. It would help if you read the article before posting such inane rantings.

Then why is it called "How Lincoln's Army 'Liberated' the Indians"? Or didn't you read the title before posting your inane response?

Because it was the same army created by Lincoln to fight the War Between the States. The rest of the article, however, focuses on Sherman, Sheridan and Grant and their actions against non-combatants in an effort to eradicate a people. You can hem and haw all you want, but it was the Federal Army which did these things. When Lee invaded the North, he specifically ordered his men not to despoil the land or the people therein. Sherman, however, believed in killing everyone: combatants and non-combatants alike. He burned several Southern cities, allowed his men to rape "contrabands" and pretty much acted like Atilla the Hun. And these attitudes carried over to the Indian Wars.
