Hey bouncer

[Mr I]

This picture is of 39 men that were ordered to be executed by Abraham Lincoln for treaty violations(hunting off of their assigned reservation)Yes*the "Great Emancipator" as the history books so fondly referred to him as. Authorities in Minnesota asked President Lincoln to order the immediate execution of all 303 Indian males found guilty. Lincoln was concerned with how this would play with the Europeans, whom he was afraid were about to enter the war on the side of the South. He offered the following compromise to the politicians of Minnesota: They would pare the list of those to be hung down to 39. In return, Lincoln promised to kill or remove every Indian from the state and provide Minnesota with 2 million dollars in federal funds. So, on December 26, 1862, the "Great Emancipator" ordered the largest mass execution in American History, where the guilt of those to be executed was entirely in doubt. Regardless of how Lincoln defenders seek to play this, it was nothing more than murder to obtain the land of the Santee Sioux and to appease his political cronies in Minnesota. You have no idea the things that are hidden from you with the textbooks assigned to you as a child by your government. Stay mindful people, be aware....in the age of information being ignorant is indeed a choice. Goodnight everyone

And therein lies the connection with the south and Europe also

Where's that from? I'd like to read more about the details. What were they accused of? Were they ever proven guilty or innocent?

Mr. I you're just mad that UK doesn't own the greatest nation on earth.

Bouncer do some research bro it's all put there

Start with Google

[Bouncer]

In other words you found some random shit on facebook and have no useful or legitimate info on it.

You're a sheep and willing to believe anything as long as the source material is from facebook.

I would be willing to bet that there is a great deal about this story that was completly left out in order to paint a picture with a heavy agenda to smear Lincoln. I'm sure he wasn't anything close to perfect but I'm also sure there is more to this story.

[Mr I]

I just haven't the time bro but google is your freind

[Bouncer]

You have the time to post it but not the time to back it up. Interesting.

Here's an idea..how bout you do about 24 seconds of research before you post mindless superfluous commentary that you gather out your ass from reading a facebook headline...really. If you want to be controversial start by not being a twat and doing a bit of research;)

Minnesota's Great Sioux Uprising. "One of the first and bloodiest Indian wars on the western frontier, the Great Sioux Uprising (today called the "Dakota-U.S. Conflict) cost the lives of hundreds of Native Americans, white settlers, and soldiers. After the U.S. Army suppressed the uprising it established a commission that condemned 303 Dakota men in trials that were patently unfair. Federal law, however, required the president's approval of the death sentences. "Anxious to not act with so much clemency as to encourage another outbreak on the one hand, nor with so much severity as to be real cruelty on the other, Lincoln ignored the howling of a white populace thirsting for revenge and began the arduous task of reviewing the trial records and deciding the fates of hundreds of men." Four to Eight hundred white settlers killed in the first four days, 150 man scouting detachment ambushed and killed.

[Mr I]

Such aggression from the Irish

The hipocracy of the above post perfectly illustrates your deluded arrogance lol

Perspective is everything and yours is catastrophically perverted

You are the copy paste cunt if the year

Here's an idea, how about you use your brain as a filter before copy pasting, actually engage thought process, or if you are feeling really brave, originate your own thread instead of cynically sitting waiting to snipe

Me and the B have a light hearted banter going about USA Vs UK but it's not to be taken out of context

Thanks
