I agree that it was interesting that an American was defending Native American women that were being raped by American soldiers. It would have been easy to just look the other way. I think it's sad that we hear so many stories of soldiers raping civilians. British soldiers did it during the Revolution. American soldiers raped Native Americans. I just think its incredibly wrong for soldiers to treat civilians, even "enemy" civilians, that way. -Katelyn Lease | I agree that it was interesting that an American was defending Native American women that were being raped by American soldiers.

| + | I agree with Kristina, Amy, and Katelyn it is interesting that a white citizen is standing up for Indian women. Most white people thought Indians were inferior to them and it is nice to see that someone does care about them. I think the author used the term "pretend Lieut" because they did not want to think people in the Army could be as cruel as any criminal. - LeAnn Taggart | ||
