from the Declaration of Independence:
"Such has been the patient sufferance of these
colonies; and such is now
the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of
government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history
of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let
facts be submitted to a candid world......
.....He has excited domestic insurrections
amongst us, and has endeavored
to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions."
While it is difficult to determine exactly how many Natives lived in North America before Columbus, estimates range from a low of 2.1 million (Ubelaker 1976) to 7 million people (Russell Thornton) to a high of 18 million (Dobyns 1983).....The census counted 248,000 Indians in 1890, 332,000 in 1930 and 334,000
in 1940, including those on and off reservations in the 48 states.
