Don’t forget Native Americans called Washington “Town Destroyer”. And it was not only because he was destroying towns but also because he inherited this title from his great-grandpa who was also called Town Destroyer because he also destroyed towns.

To be clear about Lincoln, he was handed a request for an even bigger mass hanging, and reduced it down to 38.

You can call him whenever names you like, but his intent was to keep as many people alive as he thought he could.
It’s the strongest argument yet for adding Trump, anyway.
Stop making such good points, republicans will hear you and go for it!
How is progress on the Crazy Horse monument? I’ve swung by once a decade since I was a teen, but it’s been 11yrs since my last visit.
