This is now on Facebook..and about an hour ago I wrote this in response to seeing it.. "Ironic that he did not ALSO see the very reason this would happen to 'his' country was because he helped to take it out of the hands of the Gentle, Spiritual, Caring and Respectful Hands of the Native Americans..38 of whom (Sioux) he gave the order to execute in the biggest mass hanging in American History, on December 26, 1862...And to this day, every year on December 26th, regardless of the weather, the Lakota run together, for many miles to the memorial in Mankota, Minnesota, to honour their Ancestors, who, as they waited to be hanged together, joined hands and sang the Sioux death song together, until the soldiers put hoods over their heads...... Abe Lincoln should be removed from Mount Rushmore, along with the others carved into that Sacred Sioux Mountain by a man who was in the KKK. Native American Chiefs should be carved in their place, but ONLY if that is what the Indigenous People of America want, for it is **their** Sacred Mountain..and should be returned to them as fast as possible...."
