Perhaps, in your books, Winston Churchill should also be remembered as a drunkard?

John A. MacDonald was the first Prime Minister of Canada, instrumental in the foundation of this nation. In that role he had to deal with about fifty major issues and challenges. You target precisely one of those fifty issues and challenges, his approach to indigenous natives, and you apply the lens of 2017 in so doing.

How many of the native traditions are you a fan of, from centuries ago? Their scalping? Their group murders of competing band members? Their kidnapping and raping of women from other tribes? Their commonly dying before age 30 at the killing hands of a competing male? Their rigid role assignments for women? The lethal raids and ritual slaughters?

Life and civilization were hellish hundreds of years ago whether you were white or native, in a nomadic tribe or in a European-founded town. It is silly to use a politically correct lens of 2017 to judge any of them, white or native, as you do.
