@@jesuschristismylord4043 I figured I would have you lost in the fog with my comment .. so here goes the answer to my camouflage comment .. wouldn't you think it's reminiscing of the situation we have with Joe Biden and the Border today ... just take in consideration of fentanyl overdose alone ...

@@jesuschristismylord4043 and you must face reality with your AKA .. I get the impression that you can't see no further than the end of your nose on your face ... and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way ... if you cannot draw a comparison between the two ... and with that said? are you a progressive liberal ... I'm waiting on your response .... Thank you very much for your participation in this matter

the savages getting feathers for their heads for slaughters of the food source to then slaughtering to raping to Steal what settlers Raised...! as they did since their time other little tribes NO progress!

Ya darn. right buddy!! ❤..

Carlton you are unbelievable!!! Do you understand how it feels to be native? I get called a savage, Indian, redskin, every single day I go in public, I’m followed around in the gym by loony racists, that think just like you! Just be honest and stop hiding behind saying things like your comment here about talking UP white people, I can read between the lines that you’re REALLY saying that natives are the opposite of all the qualities you listed for white people. Now just be honest for once, after lying to us and taking everything while making up rules and breaking it to suit you… give your real opinion on Natives, don’t just pretend you don’t have one, that’s an attack as well

I love taking a trip to this area, it’s Rich in my own family history.

So it’s a massacre if the Native Americans army conducts defence but it’s a just battle of fair warfare to needlessly murder in the name of taking over land

They ran because of fear of fighting a battle without real reason to fight, the native Americans are justly fighting for their land, the US army is fighting to take what isn’t theirs, which is a much weaker reason, hence the cowardice

​@jesuschristismylord4043 They ran because the Indians that were attacking were savages and well known for their sickening atrocities against white people.

Have you lived through a draft? Everyone knows it's coming. Plenty of men ran long before it starts. And why assume this fella was a Yankee? The draft started on the losing side in 1862.

Just before the outbreak and during, the Army were riding through towns in this area gathering the men and trying to get them to join up, by offering them money. My husband’s great great uncle joined, it is said, because he was so grateful to the United States of America. He left behind a wife and children and died of illness while in training down south. His wife remarried.

A slough is backwater to a larger lake system and is usually swamp-like. Lake Shetek is about 70 miles West of New Ulm, MN - my hometown.
