Native Americans genocide
Поучительное:


In 1643 [..], the Dutch governor, according to some accounts
not only exasperated but inebriated, ordered the massacre of a
number of Wappinger people who had run to the Dutch for
protection
from raiding Mohawks. The Indian refugees were lulled
by friendly Dutch treatment for several days, and then were attacked
by the Dutch while they slept [..], and eighty heads of men,
women, and children were brought back to Manhattan, to Fort
Amsterdam, where a New Amsterdam dowager played kickball with them
in the street. A captive Hackensack Indian was publicly tortured,
charged a contemporary pamphleteer, by being skinned in strips and
fed with his own flesh while the 'poor, naked, simple creature'
stubbornly tried to keep up his death song, until at last, flayed
from his fingers to his knees, castrated, dragged through the
streets but still alive, he was placed on a millstone and his head
beaten off by the soldiers. The Dutch governor looked on throughout
and 'laughed right heartily'...

А другие пилигриммы в Джеймстауне в гости позвали туземцев и врач напоил их винцом с мышьяком. Двести человек накрылось, включая всю руководящую головку туземную. Что делать-то будем?
