President Lincoln and the Sioux Indian uprising in Minnesota in 1862

David, thank you for the letter you sent to the NY Times. This is not about race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or other life experiences. An artist has no more right to impunity for historical inaccuracies and misrepresentations under the guise of "artistic freedom" than an author of history and should be held to the same standards of critical evaluation for accuracy. I'd like to see some "artistic footnotes."
