'By their fruits you will know those men', - Jesus Christ.
Reverend Solomon Stoddard, one of New England's most esteemed religious
leaders, in "1703 formally proposed to the Massachusetts Governor that the
colonists be given the financial wherewithal to purchase and train large packs of
dogs 'to hunt Indians as they do bears'." *
Massacre of Sand Creek, Colorado 11/29/1864. Colonel John Chivington, a former
Methodist minister and still elder in the church (I long to be wading in gore) had a
Cheyenne village of about 600, mostly women and children, gunned down despite
the chiefs' waving with a white flag: 400-500 killed.
*
From an eye-witness account: "There were some thirty or forty squaws collected in
a hole for protection; they sent out a little girl about six years old with a white flag
on a stick; she had not proceeded but a few steps when she was shot and killed. All
the squaws in that hole were afterwards killed ..." *
By the 1860s, "in Hawai'i the Reverend Rufus Anderson surveyed the carnage that
by then had reduced those islands' native population by 90 percent or more, and he
declined to see it as tragedy; the expected total die-off of the Hawaiian population
was only natural, this missionary said, somewhat equivalent to 'the amputation of
diseased members of the body'." *
