How do the haters, who want to erase Confederate history, feel about the fact that the same Union army immediately after the Civil War, waged another war to exterminate the Indians? Should we erase that history also?
I don’t see anyone erasing that history.
I don’t see many towns honoring Custer
I don’t see any holidays honoring those who fought the Indians
Ever heard of Columbus Day? He enslaved Indians.
He sure did, even sent them out to search for gold in places where it didn't exist, and then when the came back emptyhanded, cut off their hands.
But I don't see a "United Daughters of the Columbusacy" running around trying to whitewash his story, do you?
I am the president of Asia. Your argument is not only invalid, it is irrelevant in this topic and as such, dismissed.
Oh and still waiting for that pre-1526 slavery account.
I was answering a question. And you are not even the president of your 6th grade history class. The Iroquois Indians were enslaving people before that time.
Read my avatar. I couldn't run it if it weren't true.
And your argument remains invalid and irrelevant. There is in fact, no such thing as the "United Daughters of the Columbusacy". NOR is anything about this thread even remotely about the Iroquois, let alone about the practice of slavery, in
whatever form.
Although, I have to say, decades ago when I started talking about this part of Columbiana, the same ignorant voices tried to shout me down on that too. For the same reason --- they didn't want to be challenged on their long-held preconceptions. Ignorance is so much less work. Plus ça change, est-qui j'ai raison?
