You are certainly right. But I am afraid that the "catholic cat" (!) is asking about precise and specific moments of open class warfare, as his list of crimes shows. However, I would make a comment to that list: though it is now usual in the US official ideology to equate "first nation" warriors with "white settler" warriors, as if all of them had been equally American citizens, the truth is, as Mark Lause clearly states above, that crimes against the sioux, seminole, apache, whatever, were not considered part of a civil war. The original peoples of what today is US of America were NOT considered US citizens. Correct me if I am wrong, please. -- Néstor Gorojovsky El texto principal de este correo puede no ser de mi autoría ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
