PLIGHT OF NATIVE AMERICANS #2 The Eastern Atrocities

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. Thanks for the compliment Hermit...

And, did you read the much more publicized link in the first reply?

Although, as a result of massive readership, recommendations and replies in the preview, I expected more response to this actual, historic report.

And, I wrote this OP for the right reasons.

(1) I attempted to set the record straight on the suffering and demonization of Native Americans, who were invaded and - in many cases - slaughtered for their land.

(2) It was a learning experience, for me and hopefully a few readers.

(3) I enjoyed researching and writing an important addition to my journal.

(4) I hope I was able to increase sensitivity about the actual bigotry that some people still inflict on our Native American brothers and sisters.

You see, publicity and fame means very little, when compared to these achievements. On closer evaluation, the surprisingly few readers was not the disappointment I anticipated.
