More Innocent Hearts

Erasing a Nation
How do you erase a nation, peoples, countries?
   First try and kill as many as you can by war then by starving, disease and war &extreme cruelty. Give their babies smallpox infected blankets, meat that is diseased, medicines that kill, no way to stay warm or cool. Work them in camps or starve them denying them any way to provide for themselves.
Second tie them together under one nasty name.  Then, make this name disreputable and hated, so that if anybody sees one they will be murdered and the murderer given a reward.
Next, take away their religion, language, culture, hair, clothing  and then separate families.
Reeducate them with a false history. Dig up their graves and artifacts and categorize them with this false history. Essentially rewrite their history and reality.
    Take away their dignity and possessions, torture them. Leave them nothing but poverty , disease and want. Then move them away from their countries and everything familiar. Then put them in camps, prisoners to all, where they are guarded. They have no rights, can't fish, hunt, pray  or even farm without permission from a cruel source.  Can't own land or testify in court, or keep their own children. Take their knowledge of their world and declare it false fairy tales and forbid it to be taught, spoken or passed down to anyone .
    The few that are left either hide or live in abject poverty, afraid  and enslaved.
This is how you do it.
To the victor belongs the spoils and the written accepted history of it. They take their country and brag at how they did it.
Native Americans know this well.
