Native American dispossession provides the fundamental precondition to a fuller understanding of the American Civil War. The future design of western territories, presumed to be vacant and open for development as evidenced in the discourse of white politicians, provoked apparently irreconcilable differences among those politicians who argued over slavery and its extension. Republican Party ideology of the 1850's rested on concepts of free labor, free men, and free land, the promotion of homestead legislation, and the construction of a Pacific railroad through western lands. As the first nationally elected leader of his party, President Abraham Lincoln transformed ideology into policy during his first administration. Lincoln, mythologized after his assassination as the savior of a re-constituted republican government invigorated with "a new birth of freedom" for the formerly enslaved, escapes serious scrutiny from historians for his role in furthering indigenous people's removal from their ancestral lands. The Lincoln administration mustered the power of the federal government behind a national colonization effort predicated on acquisition of land in the West for white settlers. Civil War historiography privileges the liberating aspects of emancipation while maintaining crushing silence on the critical stages of Native American dispossession directed by Lincoln during the Civil War. An analysis of the Dakota War of 1862 demonstrates that Lincoln personified the mindset of the dominant white culture in erasing indigenous peoples from their lands, first in discourse and later in policy. Lincoln's uncompromising insistence upon making western land available to free labor in order to pursue his, and the Republican Party's, vision of the nation's future required the continued removal and dispossession of American Indians. President Lincoln's Indian policies accelerated American Indian dispossession and unleashed frontier violence of an unprecedented nature.

In August 1862, after decades of broken treaties, increasing hardship, and relentless encroachment on their lands, a group of Dakota warriors convened a council at the tepee of their leader, Little Crow. Knowing the strength and resilience of the young American nation, Little Crow counseled caution, but anger won the day. Forced to either lead his warriors in a war he knew they could not win or leave them to their fates, he declared, “[Little Crow] is not a coward: he will die with you.” So began six weeks of intense conflict along the Minnesota frontier as the Dakotas clashed with settlers and federal troops, all the while searching for allies in their struggle. Once the uprising was smashed and the Dakotas captured, a military commission was convened, which quickly found more than three hundred Indians guilty of murder. President Lincoln, embroiled in the most devastating period of the Civil War, personally intervened in order to spare the lives of 265 of the condemned men, but the toll on the Dakota nation was still staggering: a way of life destroyed, a tribe forcibly relocated to barren and unfamiliar territory, and 38 Dakota warriors hanged—the largest government-sanctioned execution in American history. Scott W. Berg recounts the conflict through the stories of several remarkable characters, including Little Crow, who foresaw how ruinous the conflict would be for his tribe; Sarah Wakefield, who had been captured by the Dakotas, then vilified as an “Indian lover” when she defended them; Minnesota bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple, who was a tireless advocate for the Indians’ cause; and Lincoln, who transcended his own family history to pursue justice. Written with uncommon immediacy and insight, 38 Nooses details these events within the larger context of the Civil War, the history of the Dakota people, and the subsequent United States–Indian wars. It is a revelation of an overlooked but seminal moment in American history.

On the bright Sunday morning of August 17, 1862, four Sioux warriors emerged from the Big Woods northwest of St. Paul, Minnesota, on their way home from an unsuccessful hunt. When they came upon the homestead of Robinson Jones, a white man who ran a post office and general store and offered lodging for travelers, the Indians opened fire on the settlers, killing almost all of them. Soon bands of Sioux were rampaging across southwestern Minnesota, attacking farms and trading posts and murdering everywhere they wentósplitting the skulls of men; clubbing children to death; raping daughters and wives before disemboweling them; cutting off hands, breasts, and genitals; and looting whatever could be taken before setting fire to what remained. Perhaps as many as two thousand settlers were brutally massacred, although the number has never been firmly established. Once the uprising was suppressed, 303 Sioux warriors were sentenced to death. The people of Minnesota called for their immediate execution, a sentiment that matched the national mood. Abraham Lincoln suspected that most of those convicted were marginal players in the rebellion and that the worst culprits had escaped, and he carefully reviewed each case before selecting the 39ólater reduced to 38ómen to hang whom he believed to be guilty of the worst crimes. The remainder were committed to life in prison. "I could not hang men for votes," he later explained. On December 26 the 38 were simultaneously hanged on a gallows construction especially for them. The Sioux Uprising of 1862, also known as the Dakota War, sounded the first shots of a war that continued for another 28 years, culminating in the massacre of Indian women and children at Wounded Knee in 1890. Lincoln's death at the hands of John Wilkes Booth ended his intention to reform the government's Indian policy, and both political parties continued to use the system to reward their supporters, a practice that largely continues to this day.

The chain of events that occurred at Ford’s theater was naturally altered by way of the president was saved from the assassin’s bullet and then went on to become known as the father of freedom. Lincoln’s wisdom encouraged and supported the next few leaders of the white house that followed his eight year term in office. After the civil war he granted the wish of a very special freed slaves to return home with honor and dignity so that his community may go on to build and become a strong nation of trust, friendship and trade with America and over time the world. These freed African pilgrims continued to use of the English language in Africa when in public to respect the United States president who understood a trickle from a small pebble thrown into the ocean can go on to become a mighty wave on a distant shore by the end of its life. This adventure begins as a young African boy’s story and unveils some dramatic changes in the societies across the entire African continent. The North Americans renounced their harmful ways to the native Indians and gave them back large patches of land throughout the lower American states. But the real changes occur in Africa with their freedom laws and from there the planet recovered and ended the slave trade forever. Finally, we travel into Africa’s’ undiscovered possibilities and a future open to many wonders from the reclaiming of ancient lands to the newly discovered outposts that are now shared by the human race along with other strange and unique life forms using much different unimagined technologies orbiting around the planets of extremely distant stars.
