Native American Genocide Revisited


We are happy to see Mr William Federer’s essay on the Native Americans:


But something is always missing in dealings with the Natives by the worshippers of Americanism:  the deep, overwhelming sense of guilt and dread that they have committed a terrible ‘national sin’ by killing millions of Indians.  Indeed, the most Mr Federer could muster in the above essay is these rather milquetoast lines

Throughout the five centuries of Indian policies in the Americas, there have regrettably been greed-motivated individuals and politicians who wanted to take advantage of native Americans.

Thankfully, there have also been Gospel-motivated individuals who insisted on treating native Americans fairly, such as William Penn, and improve their well-being, such as Bartolome' de Las Casas, who wrote:

"The main goal of divine Providence in the discovery of these tribes ... is ... the conversion and well-being of souls, and to this goal everything temporal must necessarily be directed."

This is both puzzling and concerning. 

It is puzzling because any mention of African slavery by the American Supremacists nearly always brings forth some kind of penitential word, to the effect that God judged the States justly for the cruelties of slavery through the sufferings of the so-called Civil War (i.e., the War of Northern Aggression).  Why, then, is there hardly ever any similar fear and trembling over God’s justice for the crimes of the Indian genocide?  If African slavery, with its one million deaths or so, had to be ‘atoned for’ with the blood of 620,000 European-Americans (and some African-Americans as well, ironically) during the Great War, should not the peoples of the States be literally shaking in fear over the cataclysm that awaits them for the tens of millions of deaths of the Native Americans that they caused?  Shouldn’t there be some Julia Ward Howe’s writing hymns for the glory of God that advocate the violent killing of those linked to this genocide?  Shouldn’t there be some John Brown’s mobilizing insurrections against the oppressors?

But such never happens.  And this leads to what is concerning.

We suspect that the American Supremacists, descended from the ‘noble Puritans’ of New England, whether literally or ideologically, really don’t care much at all about Natives, African slaves, or European Southrons.  What they care about is subjugating the whole world to their will (since they are God’s chosen people), and they are perfectly happy to wipe out entire cultures and peoples to see that goal come to fruition.  Thus, the infamous quote by the Yankees’ beloved Gen Philip Sheridan, ‘The only good Indians I ever saw were dead’ (http://indians.org/welker/gooddead.htm), is applicable not only to Natives but also to any other ‘lesser forms of humanity’ that stand in their way (whether Indians, Southerners (black or white), Russians, Chinese, Cubans, Iranians, Afghanis, Yemenis, etc.).

Seen in this light, the constant pontificating about racial issues is just another weapon used to make a wreck out of the South, to keep her people divided, so that the American Supremacists might all the more easily overwrite Southern tradition and history with the ‘superior culture’ of New England.

We are of course willing to entertain the notion that we are wrong.  However, until we see Mr Federer, Dr Richard Land, Tony Perkins, et al. constantly bemoaning the dark, sinful acts of Europeans towards the Native Americans and living in abject fear of God’s judgment upon the [u]nited States for those acts, then we are forced to assume that our little speculations above are right.
