Protesters spray-painted "Dakota 38" on the base of Lincoln's statue, referencing the 38 Dakota men Lincoln approved to have hanged after the men were involved in a violent conflict with white settlers in Minnesota.
If these people knew about the "Dakota 38," they must also have known about all of the accused Indians sentenced to execution that President Lincoln personally saved.
Some of our American historians should loudly protest this injustice to President Abraham Lincoln.
They don't care about the ones who were spared. They just select what fit their hatred agenda.
