"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

I was in elementary school when I read it. I stopped reading the declaration after that. I didn't read it until my senior year of high school.

But we know who the actual savages were & continue to be. Cruelty to everyone different to them has & continues to be the point!
