You must have the protection of teh Preisdent of the United States and his white soldiers or disappear, from the earth...We have not been making war with you. You are at war with us. We have not commenced yet. -Harney [1] p. 34
[You] must understand that if peace is not now made all efforts on our part to make it are at an end. -Sanborn, same source next page.
Yo
VM. The civilize bit is POV probably yeah. But it's accurate as the POV of the time, and in fact, considered by many to be the more humanitarian side of the debate. But anyway, it's directly from the bill that created the commission and it's stated purpose To suggest or inaugurate some plan for the civilization of the Indians.
So yeah good or bad that was their stated goal.

@
GreenMeansGo:, thanks for showing me the way to this article;
[2] it shows that American politics was just as shitty in 1868 as it is now…
I have started copyediting to help with your drive to GA, and I'd like your opinion before going further. A lot of interesting and relevant content is currently tucked away in footnotes, perhaps because editors felt that long quotes would be undue. On the contrary, I think we should weave the footnote contents into the main article prose, so that readers would not be distracted by paging back and forth when looking for details. Would you approve of this approach? —
