President Lincoln and the Sioux Indian uprising in Minnesota in 1862

Just a quick response to Liz's accusatory disbelief: Yes, I REALLY did teach about the disgraceful treatment of the Native Americans under the guise of Manifest Destiny. I guess that makes me a remarkable teacher. It might also make me a historian who did more than teach just what was printed in textbooks - 95% of which were published in the North.

I might also add that I was raised by a mother who had a very soft spot in her heart for the American Indians and contributed generously for many years (until her death at age 94) to their projects involving the education of their children.
