"In less than twenty years we have nearly swept them off the face of the
earth. We have shot them down like dogs. In the guise of friendship we
have issued corrosive sublimate in their damper and consigned whole
tribes to the agonies of an excruciating death. We have made them
drunkards, and infected them with diseases which have rotted the bones
of their adults, and made such few children as are born amongst them a
sorrow and a torture from the very instant of their birth. We have made
them outcasts on their own land, and are rapidly consigning them to entire
annihilation."
~Edward Wilson, Argus, 17th March 1856 (7)
