亞伯拉罕•林肯（Abraham Lincoln）：屠殺印第安人的美國總統。
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln ordered the execution, by hanging, of 38 Dakota Sioux prisoners in Mankato, Minnesota. Most of those executed were holy men or political leaders of their camps. None of them were responsible for committing the crimes they were accused of. Coined as the Largest Mass execution in U.S. History. (Brown, Dee. BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. New York: Holt, Rinehart, Winston, 1970. pp. 59-61)
“It is my purpose to utterly exterminate the Sioux. They are to be treated as maniacs or wild beasts.”
None of the Indians tried were given any semblance of a defense.Their trials lasted approximately 10 minutes each. All adult maleswere found guilty of murder and sentenced to death with the only evidence against them being they had been present during a warwhich they themselves had declared against the government.
1862年，林肯總統下令絞死了38個明尼蘇達曼卡托地區的達可它人蘇語部落的38個印第安人。這些被絞死的人大部分都是印第安人營地的神職人員和政治領袖。他們之中沒有人犯過他們所被控告的罪行，這鑄造了大規模的屠殺。
“此戰的目標是徹底滅絕蘇部落。他們將被像野獸一樣對待。”（林肯對即將出征剿殺印第安人的美國陸軍中將John Pope交待他的作戰目標）
被林肯下令屠殺的39名印第安人，沒有一個經過法庭辯論程式，每十分鐘判一個。尤其令人髮指的是，該部落的所有成人都被定了死罪，唯一的證據是他們反對政府，而且戰爭發生時，他們在場。
