According to historian Woody Holton, 5/6 of all federal expenditures from 1790 to 1796 were devoted to engaging in military conflict with Native nations on the western edges of the expanding United States.
I've seen people say things like "our troops weren't designed to be used on US!!!" and look, I totally understand, I agree in some ways, but I really, really hope that if you feel that way you spend time thinking about the fact that there's no such thing as a weapon that can't be pointed at you.

Precisely because Lincoln had come around to the idea of immediate, uncompensated abolition and Black rights during the war, his historical legacy would be inextricably bound with the African American struggle for freedom and with the movement to abolish slavery.
