@layman,
Time after time, after time, the benevolent U.S. government would establish reservations for Injuns were they could be well-fed, clothed, housed, and even given free education.
Did they appreciate this largess? Hell, no! Groups of them were constantly busting out of the reservation and heading into the hills. There they would organize raiding crews whose sole purpose was to rape, pillage, murder, and generally terrorize good, innocent, hard working folk everywhere.
You just can't negotiate with the likes of Bin Ladin, eh?
This revisionist "historian" complains that Injuns weren't given the right to vote. Damn straight! We don't let felons or Mexicans vote in our elections either. That would be suicide.
Just imagine where we would be now if we gave voting rights to a majority intent on destroying us, eh?
