The various removals — the Trail of Tears being the most famous one — were ethnic cleansing not of people committing savage acts but of people in inconvenient areas (areas listed after by would be farmers and would be gold miners). These are not examples of dealing with military or criminal threats. Imagine if your neighbors wanted your property and decided that sending you off sans all you owned say what you could carry to live in some barren region. Or imagine your neighbors decided that you simply were — as in the Sand Creek massacre — too much like people they didn’t like or were afraid of, so it’d be better if the troops rode in and wipe you and your loved ones. In effect, you’re arguing for that above.<br><br><div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Regards,</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dan</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Sample my latest Kindle book "Sand Trap":</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://mybook.to/SandTrap" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">http://mybook.to/SandTrap</a></font></div></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><br></div><div><br></div></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"></div></div></div></div></body></html>
