Yes agreed don't read my narrative as a cart blanche cover over Indian atrocities, there are a steady stream of raped white woman and dead pioneers in their wake as well. Their savagery gained them the nickname as well as gave Sherman the support he needed to set upon his genocidal plans. But as always Sherman prayed upon the actions of a few to dehumanize the faces of many. Their actions did not justify genocide though it invited it, nor does the genocide at Sherman and the US military hands negate the savage actions of some Indian factions nor does it leave the US population at large accountable for those actions.
