"Хороший индеец - только мертвый индеец"
Фраза, приписываемая генералу Ф. Шеридану [Sheridan, Philip Henry]. Спустя десятилетие, когда война была закончена и индейцы были разгромлены, он же высказался следующим образом: " Мы отобрали у них земли и средства к существованию, нарушили их жизненный уклад, их обычаи, принесли им болезни и загнивание общества, и именно поэтому и против всего этого они объявили войну. Мог ли кто-либо ожидать чего-то иного?" ["We took away their country and their means of support, broke up their mode of living, their habit of life, introduced dicease and decay among them, and it was for this and against this that they made war. Could anyone expect less?"]
