Indian Massacre/list of Massacres/1500-1830

Famous quotes containing the words indian, massacre and/or list:

    I was happy there,
    part Venetian vase,
    part Swiss watch, part Indian head.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
