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.
