[First paragraph from an Instagram post] peaceful.roots.of.change wrote: On December 26, 1862, Abraham Lincoln ordered the largest mass execution in American history. 38 Santee Sioux were hanged and 265 others were convicted and tortured. He put bounties on Indigenous individuals asking for scalps of men, women, and children. other posts by same individual: It’s time we recognize the white-washing and sugarcoating of our American history . . . Mayor McLean knows NOTHING of the Dakota 38, the slaves Abraham Lincoln himself owned, or the true history of America . . . . I wonder where this clown has learned "the true history of America." "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
