Amen!
Hmm, not so sure. The Native Americans just wanted to be left alone and it didn't quite work out as well.
Not really, actually. They were very aggressive, and in the end they retained portions of their own sovereign land.
Indian reservations? The federal government corralling them thousands of miles from their ancestral homeland to the middle of nowhere?
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
