I'm not absolutely, positively certain that I am using the interactive map correctly, but apparently it was around the time of Lincoln's Presidency, the Indians possessed the least amount of land, before and after Lincoln's Presidency.
Territory is designated with blue and red space which increase after Lincoln's death. The map permits data sample from 1860-1864. Lincoln's presidency lasted from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865, the map doesn't allow scaling to 1865 ... but the genocide was still ongoing during those years.
Apparently, the very worst of territorial restrictions against Indians (least land available to them) came between January 1, 1859 - January 1, 1862, (see map #2), afterward, the interactive map reveals a slight increase in territory available to the Indians but this is apparently deceitful.
I am doubtful this is done with good intention. The Lincoln administration did not consider native people to be "Human" much less U.S. citizens with human rights. It was ethnic cleansing, to clear territory for Anglo-Saxon Protestants, and deliberate acts of genocide were carried out by forcing the Indians to walk by gunpoint, on foot, hundreds of miles. Thousands would die along the way on the long marches to their "new" reservation/concentration camp.
Genocide by Other Means: U.S. Army Slaughtered Buffalo in Plains Indian Wars
"...Isenberg said, “Some Army officers in the Great Plains in the late 1860s and 1870s, including William Sherman and Richard Dodge, as well as the Secretary of the Interior in the 1870s, Columbus Delano, foresaw that if the bison were extinct, the Indians in the Great Plains would have to surrender to the reservation system.” Colonel Dodge said in 1867, “Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone,” and Delano wrote in his 1872 annual report, “The rapid disappearance of game from the former hunting-grounds must operate largely in favor of our efforts to confine the Indians to smaller areas, and compel them to abandon their nomadic customs.”
“As a policy statement, I think that’s pretty clear,” Isenberg said. The Army had already used a similar strategy—In its 1863-1864 campaign against the Navajos, led by Colonel Kit Carson, the Army destroyed tens of thousands of sheep in a successful effort to subdue the Navajos.
The Civil War: 1861-1865

Lincoln Presidency March 1861-April 1865
"...From 1863 to 1868, the U.S. Military persecuted and imprisoned 9,500 Navajo (the Diné) and 500 Mescalero Apache (the N’de). Living under armed guards, in holes in the ground, with extremely scarce rations, it is no wonder that more than 3,500 Navajo and Mescalero Apache men, women, and children died while in the concentration camp."
Hitler’s Inspiration and Guide: The Native American Holocaust
"He offered the following compromise to the politicians of Minnesota: They would pare the list of those to be hung down to 39. In return, Lincoln PROMISED TO KILL or REMOVE EVERY INDIAN from the state and provide Minnesota with 2 million dollars in federal funds." "Largest mass hanging in United States history"
One article above mentions these genocidal "marches" and provides a map of one of the marches which spans 300 miles.
Rightwing Socialist Hitler... as if he were the inventor of genocide, such atrocities were ongoing across the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and of course THE UNITED STATES.
Abraham Lincoln's terrorist bloodbath taught following generations a thing or two about "How to Efficiently Kill Millions".
The big three which overshadowed Hitler:
1) Roosevelt
2) Stalin
3) Churchill
represented lands which were guilty of mass killings, going back long before Hitler even was old enough to entertain the notion of obtaining political power, ethnic cleansing, genocide... all three taught Hitler how to kill efficiently by their example. (i.e., Lenin and the Bolsheviks creating the "GULAG" "labor/death camp," millions died in the Gulag long before Hitler came to power, as well as orchestrating manmade famine and genocide under the Soviet Union.
General Sherman's 'scorched earth' policy destroying infrastructure including wholesale destruction of livestock (sheep and buffalo) to crush the Indians will of resistance through starvation) -- to the British Empire's perfection of the deadly "concentration camp," model, which was first carried out in the United States and called "Reservations" by the U.S. Army, as well as American legalized Eugenics policies and its sterilization programme in half of the United States, with its well-known Apartheid system --its Tuskagee syphilis experiment and other "Medical Experiments" carried out on living humans -- (hello, familiarly "Dr. Mengele," anyone?) America's apartheid system which, history shows, Hitler was quite fond of and learned everything he knew from their historical examples!
No dictator blooms in a vaccuum.
Indeed, I believe the nazis were killing (the following article gives mention of the "Divine Right" to kill --that political outlook was known as "Manifest Destiny," to "Honest" Abe Lincoln, namely
"...justifications (Divine Right), policies (Indian Removal), procedures (Wounded Knee) – for Hitler to follow."
however, the nazis were really late in the game among the mass-murdering conquistadors of genocidal ethnic cleansing.
The Big Three brought genocide into the new era of "efficiency," with an air of ruthless "Business-as-usual."
The Nazis were overshadowed by the British Empire, United States and USSR's political slaughterhouse which managed to turn a profit on slave labor. Hitler merely copied them. He was a product of his age.
Last but not least in the darkest of irony, let's not forget the ongoing Apartheid and genocide in Gaza carried out by Israel, too, today. THEY ALL KILL, left and right, perhaps with death tolls in the billion range all total.
Here's an article which is written by Native Americans:
Ugly Precursor to Auschwitz: Hitler Said to Have Been Inspired by U.S. Indian Reservation System, Simon Moya-Smith, (1/27/15)
"...The idea of a prison camp – specifically Auschwitz, in Oświęcim, Poland – where Hitler's soldiers would shoot, hang, poison, mutilate and starve men, women and children en mass was not an idea Hitler, the bigot, came up with on his own. In fact, the Pulitzer-Prize winning biographer John Toland wrote that Hitler was inspired in part by the Indian reservation system – a creation of the United States.
“Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history,” Toland wrote in his book, Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography. “He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.”
Now, of course, it is not in the best national interest of the U.S. to recognize such a realization as presented by Toland. As I’ve said time and again, you cannot be the greatest nation in the world if you’re guilty of genocide – and especially if your country’s policies were the inspiration that engineered one of the world’s most devastating genocides.
And, of course, the evidence is readily available to those who’d seek it that European settlers (i.e. invaders who would later divorce themselves from their motherland, renaming each other “Americans”) did, in fact, set into motion a detailed template – justifications (Divine Right), policies (Indian Removal), procedures (Wounded Knee) – for Hitler to follow.
Now, of course people are wont to argue that plague and disease killed Native Americans in great numbers, which is true – Native Americans did die in mass numbers as a result of European pestilences and our biological inability to fight off these foreign microbes. But that argument inherently ignores the well-documented extermination policies set forth by the United States.
In fact, President Thomas Jefferson himself famously said (well, famous throughout Native America) that the “(American Indian has) justified (their own) extermination.” And it was George Washington who thought the only way to kill Native Americans was to rage war on their crops."

The Hundreds Mile Death March
Parallels
"...Some of the parallels include the death marches when the Nazis forced hundreds of thousands of prisoners from Nazi concentration camps and prisoner of war camps near the eastern front to camps inside Germany away from front lines and allied forces. I saw an image from May 11, 1945, where German civilians were walking past bodies of 30 Jewish women starved to death by German SS troops in a 300-mile march across Czechoslovakia. It made me think about how The Long Walk of the Navajo was also 300-miles, and many of the Native Americans died of starvation."
Recall, famously, the Holodomor, where the "good friend" of Roosevelt, Mr. "Uncle Joe" Stalin orchestrated famine (1932-1933) where 7 million died from starvation. The famine began 1931-1934 with a total (given by Stalin to Roosevelt at Yalta) of around 14 million deaths. Stalin wasn't the first... before Stalin, was Lenin, who starved the peasants, knowing they would be too weak to resist and turn their worship toward the state, securing his sole power. And, before Lenin, there was the British Empire and Abraham Lincoln's right-hand man, Sherman and even George Washington... all hailed as "good men" in history books, world over.
Hitler learned from all these men, who were merely his mentors.
In Leftwing-controlled Academia, and Leftwing-controlled Media,
We have only ever heard about
1) The South
2) The Nazis
whom, in history, as retold by Leftwing intellectuals, were the only "evil forces" who perpetrated slavery or genocide. The Leftwing intellectuals conveniently offer a distorted version of history, making Heroes out of men like Stalin and Lincoln.
Intellectuals on the Left, carefully pick and choose which genocides qualify as true "Genocide(s)" and pick and choose which monsters are deserving of widespread demonizing and which monsters are deserving of the whitewash treatment and to set before the masses, to uphold as "legendary icons" "liberators" "freedom fighters" and "heroes". Although the fiction invented about them, is just that, a fake version of history. A fairy tale.
"...In fact, President Thomas Jefferson himself famously said (well, famous throughout Native America) that the “(American Indian has) justified (their own) extermination.” And it was George Washington who thought the only way to kill Native Americans was to rage war on their crops."
Ugly Precursor to Auschwitz: Hitler Said to Have Been Inspired by U.S. Indian Reservation System
Anyone who would think the "Big Three" were opposed to Hitler on ethical grounds don't understand the nature of this beast.
THE BIG THREE:
1) Roosevelt (representing the land which carried out the first ethnic cleansing / apartheid / genocide from sea to shining sea, in North America and beyond for benefit of the American Empire. (Manifest Destiny by Divine Providence).
2) "Uncle Joe" Stalin and the bloody Soviet Murder Machine from Lenin (1919, Moscow and onward) which claimed tens of millions of lives through death camps, starvation and manmade famines.
3) Churchill's beloved "British Empire" which spread its genocidal tentacles far and wide across the planet.
Here's a note in history worth remembering.
Was the U.S. opposed to immoral and unethical Science by the Nazi regime? Opposed to Nazis? No! The USA brings these Nazi Scientists to U.S. and give them jobs!
A good read is:
After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation (Paperback – February 24, 2009, by Giles MacDonogh)
If you have the book, SKIM DOWN to the chapter where MacDonogh discusses how convictions for so-called "war crimes" were even achieved.
Utilizing ILLEGAL ex post facto law [(Latin for "from after the action" or "after the facts") is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law.]
In other words, every atrocity and "crime" committed by the nazis had been equally committed during wartime by the Soviets and Allies, who were guilty of doing these things themselves (i.e., *ding ding ding* the Katyn Forest Massacre) -- but that massacre was silenced for 40 some years)... because, during the time the acts were committed, it was no "crime." Therefore, nonpunishable by international law, at least, technically.
The Soviets and Allies, who would not allow something as trivial as law, ethics, or morals get in their way of extacting revenge on their defeated enemy... found the way to retroactively make the actions of the Nazis, a "crime" then extract justice.
Of course they never went so far as to put themselves on trial.
To this day we see examples of this double-standard in what constitutes "Justice" and so-called "Law," when George Bush, Cheney, Tony Blair, Obama ... including the crimes of Israel committed on the Palestinians in Gaza, do not have a single concern about breaking "International laws" or "treaties"... nor a single fear of retribution. Never held accountable. And when men of law break the law... there is no "Law."
Why hasn't the Supreme Court put George Bush on trial for war crimes yet?
Those Nazi scientists, certainly fit right because the Nazi system based its policies on the policies of the U.S. Government.

Whenever slavery is discussed... and you're right, its always about Lincoln, "The Great Enabler," and all the slaves he (didn't) free, who went right back into Debt Slavery (Peonage)...
We only ever hear about the "Lincoln freed the Slaves" fairy tale, which apparently assumes freedom reigns forever more and everyone now lives "happily ever after," so we don't have to discuss the slavery that is occurring today, or occurred during the decades after Lincoln's failure as an emancipator, such as those caught in Debt Slavery or those slaves in the Gulag, or the exploitative "Prison for Profit" system operating legally now in U.S., or slave labor empowering Communist regimes, or other forms of human trafficking.
Not that it isn't evil -- but the media and society tends to "look the other way." Perhaps insiders are profiting from "business as usual" and don't want to draw attention to themselves or their "friends."
....and genocide. The USA invented it, the British Empire refined it into an efficient, well oiled killing machine, the Bolsheviks; (ha, anti-Capitalist) Lenin and Stalin made genocide profitable, Hitler copied it, and Israel commits it today, in the "Name of God"."Evil" for some... is called, the "Will of God" by others.
A Worthwhile Read
American Holocaust: The Conquest of the New World
David E. Stannard
Oxford University Press, USA, Nov 18, 1993 - History - 358 pages
"...For four hundred years--from the first Spanish assaults against the Arawak people of Hispaniola in the 1490s to the U.S. Army's massacre of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in the 1890s--the indigenous inhabitants of North and South America endured an unending firestorm of violence. During that time the native population of the Western Hemisphere declined by as many as 100 million people. Indeed, as historian David E. Stannard argues in this stunning new book, the European and white American destruction of the native peoples of the Americas was the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world.Stannard begins with a portrait of the enormous richness and diversity of life in the Americas prior to Columbus's fateful voyage in 1492. He then follows the path of genocide from the Indies to Mexico and Central and South America, then north to Florida, Virginia, and New England, and finally out across the Great Plains and Southwest to California and the North Pacific Coast. Stannard reveals that wherever Europeans or white Americans went, the native people were caught between imported plagues and barbarous atrocities, typically resulting in the annihilation of 95 percent of their populations. What kind of people, he asks, do such horrendous things to others? His highly provocative answer: Christians. Digging deeply into ancient European and Christian attitudes toward sex, race, and war, he finds the cultural ground well prepared by the end of the Middle Ages for the centuries-long genocide campaign that Europeans and their descendants launched--and in places continue to wage--against the New World's original inhabitants. Advancing a thesis that is sure to create much controversy, Stannard contends that the perpetrators of the American Holocaust drew on the same ideological wellspring as did the later architects of the Nazi Holocaust. It is an ideology that remains dangerously alive today, he adds, and one that in recent years has surfaced in American justifications for large-scale military intervention in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. At once sweeping in scope and meticulously detailed, American Holocaust is a work of impassioned scholarship that is certain to ignite intense historical and moral debate."

I Am a Man: When American Indians Were Recognized as People Under U.S. Law
"...In 1877, as part of the government’s “removal” program (what we would now call ethnic cleansing), the Ponca tribe was forcefully relocated from it homelands in Nebraska to “Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. As with every tribe relocated by the U.S. government to strange and inhospitable land, the Ponca suffered huge losses to disease and starvation.
Standing Bear and twenty-nine other Ponca had spent sixty-two days walking from Oklahoma to northeastern Nebraska in sub-zero temperatures and snow like that the Cheyenne had encountered in their own attempt to return to their homeland. They had run out of food and been forced to beg at white homesteads in Kansas. The Omaha Indian friends who greeted them were shocked at what they saw—faces hollowed from hunger and skin blackened from frostbite, gaunt children, ragged clothes, emaciated horses, and so many sick. One man wore a string around his neck tied to a sack containing the bones of his grandchild.
Then they were taken into custody by the U.S. Army.
General George Crook, Commander of the Department of the Platte and the most-famed Indian fighter in the Army, had been ordered by his superior General Philip Sheridan, and Sheridan’s superior, the Commanding General of the Army, William Tecumseh Sherman, to return the Ponca to Oklahoma immediately."
As we see, --> [NO SYMPATHY, REMORSE OR REPENTANCE FROM GENERAL SHERMAN FORTHCOMING] <--
"...Crook’s years of warfare against the Indians had changed him. The various tribes against which he fought acknowledged him as a valiant and honest foe, true to his word, and Crook had come to respect the values of the people he fought and to question the policies pursued regarding them. When Crook’s entreaties of compassion for the condition of the Ponca under Standing Bear were rejected by Washington, he did an extraordinary thing. One evening he secretly visited the office of Thomas Tibbles, assistant editor of the Omaha Herald. He invited Tibbles to be present during an interview Crook would conduct with Standing Bear so that Tibbles would have a first hand account with which to publicize the situation. He did something more: he encouraged Tibble to find attorneys to bring a petition of Habeas Corpus under the new Fourteenth Amendment that guaranteed “due process” and “equal treatment” under the law. Beyond Crook’s act, what was extraordinary was that it had never been considered or intended that the Fourteenth Amendment apply to American Indians.
On the morning of April 1, readers of the Omaha Daily Herald awoke to find “Criminal Cruelty, The History of the Ponca Prisoners Now at the Barracks,” covering most of page four. In it, Tibbles recounted in detail his interviews with Standing Bear and Buffalo Chips, and the meeting with General Crook. In an adjacent column, “The Last Indian Outrage,” he used his editorial as a pointed forum, pleading the Ponca case and Indian reform to his readers. He asked them to examine carefully the Ponca speeches and their remarks to the general.
Soon enough, news of the situation had spread to all the cities of the East and the situation of the Ponca and Standing Bear become a cause célèbre among people advocating a more humane policy toward the Indian tribes. Money was raised and Tibbles found his lawyers.
The trial opened in Omaha on April 30, 1879, and lasted for two days. G. M. Lambertson represented the U.S. Government and their argument was simply that the Indian was neither a person nor a citizen within the meaning of the law, and therefore could not bring suit of any kind against the government. Lambertson further contended that the Poncas adhered to their traditional ways, were dependent on the government, and as Indians, were not entitled to the rights and privileges of citizens."

"I Am a Man": Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice Hardcover – January 20, 2009
"...In 1877, Chief Standing Bear’s Ponca Indian tribe was forcibly removed from their Nebraska homeland and marched to what was then known as Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), in what became the tribe’s own Trail of Tears. “I Am a Man” chronicles what happened when Standing Bear set off on a six-hundred-mile walk to return the body of his only son to their traditional burial ground. Along the way, it examines the complex relationship between the United States government and the small, peaceful tribe and the legal consequences of land swaps and broken treaties, while never losing sight of the heartbreaking journey the Ponca endured. It is a story of survival---of a people left for dead who arose from the ashes of injustice, disease, neglect, starvation, humiliation, and termination. On another level, it is a story of life and death, despair and fortitude, freedom and patriotism. A story of Christian kindness and bureaucratic evil. And it is a story of hope---of a people still among us today, painstakingly preserving a cultural identity that had sustained them for centuries before their encounter with Lewis and Clark in the fall of 1804."
Why is it that the "Leftwing" always pretends that the sole perpetrator and author of Genocide, was "Hitler"? I clipped out that photograph of the Native American holocaust and spliced together with a photo of just one of many acts of Genocidal ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Leftwing/Communists/Stalin... isn't it interesting how the same point is made?
It's the same thing: MURDER in all its inexcusable savagery. The difference is Nazico got put on trial and sent to the gallows . . . However the Communists escaped justice unscathed and are still deceptively called "Liberators" on par with the grisly "Great Enabler," the genocidal lunatic Lincoln has been bestowed with "Sainthood," and these criminals got away with their grisly crimes... no Justice forthcoming.
WWII massacre: Memos show US cover-up of Stalin’s Katyn slaughter
"...The US has long held in its possession verified documentation proving the 1940 Katyn forest massacre of several thousand Polish POWs was committed by the Soviet Union. Why did Washington conceal it: to cover-up for its wartime ally Josef Stalin?
"...The historians who spoke with the Associated Press called it “the most dramatic revelation” as it shows that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his administration were getting information early on from credible US sources illustrating it was the Soviet Union behind the massacre.
...The records also contain other illuminating evidence. One of the most important messages that landed on Roosevelt’s desk was an extensive and detailed report from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Written by the British ambassador to the Polish government-in-exile in London, Owen O'Malley, the document pointed to Soviet complicity in the Katyn massacre.
"...In the early years after the war, a special US Congressional committee was set up to investigate Katyn. In a final report released in 1952, it declared there was no doubt of Soviet guilt. It found that Roosevelt's administration “suppressed public knowledge of the crime, but said it was out of military necessity.” It also recommended the government bring charges against the Soviet Union at an international tribunal."
/EXCERPT/
Yes, and Lincoln's genocide was excused and brushed under the rug too, under the guise "out of military necessity" too. After all, it was "military necessity" for the U.S. Army and General Sherman to commit ethnic cleansing to increase territory for the Anglo-Saxon Protestant European people... just as Hitler was attempting to add territory to the German Reich.
