Pat Buchanan on Lincoln's crimes against native Americans

A renaming committee of the San Francisco school district wants the Great Emancipator’s name removed from Lincoln High School for crimes against Native Americans. 

Our 16th president ordered the Navajo tribe off their Arizona lands into New Mexico, resulting in a forced march of 450 miles. He approved the hanging of 38 Dakota Indians who had fought in the Dakota War in Minnesota in 1862, the largest mass execution in U.S. history. 

Lincoln’s Homestead and Pacific Railway acts led to the loss of large swaths of tribal lands.
