American soldiers sent to secure Indian lands sometimes went berserk.
Many times when Indians were ordered to leave their own land, they refused. Fought back as hard and as best they could. Until our government decided they had to be forcibly removed. Soldiers were dispatched.
They would arrive at the location and forcibly and often cruelly drive the Indians out. And just as often on the trek in or the trek back the soldiers would indiscriminately raid Indian villages and kill innocent men, women and children. Slaughter helpless Indians. Burn down their villages and destroy their crops.
Sound like anything that happened in Afghanistan recently?
