claimed there was no difference in "Indians" from wolves, helping to justify overwhelming hatred of Native People whom he labeled redskin savages:
"BOTH BEING BEASTS OF PREY, THO' THEY DIFFER IN SHAPE."

He waged a personal war of genocide instructing Major General John Sullivan in 1779 to hunt the Mohawk like wild animals and to "Lay waste all the settlements around... that the country may not be merely overrun but destroyed," urging the general not to "listen to any overture of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is effected." Sullivan did this reporting he had, "destroy[ed] everything that contributes to their support" turning "the whole of that beautiful region from the character of a garden to a scene of drear and sickening desolation." Washington's troops amused themselves by skinning the bodies of Indians "from the hips downward, to make boot tops or leggins."

Happy President's day.
