Hi,

The story about the Genocide of Native Americans began at Plymouth Rock when white settlers started to massacre the Native Americans.
GO HERE: The American Thanksgiving: Rejoicing In Genocide And White Supremacy.

At the same time the U.S. Army was freeing the Slaves in the East, the same U.S. Army in the Midwest was preforming Genocide of Native Americans, sad but true.

January 1, 1863 -- Emancipation Proclamation.
In an effort to placate the slave-holding border states, Lincoln resisted the demands of radical Republicans for complete abolition. Yet some Union generals, such as General B. F. Butler, declared slaves escaping to their lines "contraband of war," not to be returned to their masters. Other generals decreed that the slaves of men rebelling against the Union were to be considered free.

January 29, 1863, Bear River Massacre
Colonel Patrick Connor leads a regiment killing at least 200 Indian men, women and children near Preston, Idaho.

Massacre and actions of U.S. soldiers
As the Shoshone used tomahawks and bows and arrows for defense, the soldiers appeared to lose control. After killing most of the men, they raped and assaulted the women, and killed many of the children.
In some cases, soldiers held the feet of infants by the heel and "beat their brains out on any hard substance they could find." Women who resisted the soldiers were shot and killed. One local resident, Alexander Stalker, noted that many soldiers pulled out their pistols and shot several Shoshone at point blank range. The soldiers burned the Shoshone dwellings and supplies; they killed anyone they found in the shelters.
Col. Connor and the California Volunteers were treated as heroes when they arrived at Fort Douglas.
