Frank L. Baum

Baum believed that in order to provide safety for pioneers the remaining Native Americans must be annihilated while they were vulnerable from the death of Sitting Bull. This is an extremely inhumane view by Baum made towards the Native Americans. He considers the "whites" the masters of the American continent, even though the Native Americans were obviously there first. He also goes onto say that Americans should not regret their extermination and I completely disagree with this view. I would hope most Americans would believe that this way of thinking should never be implemented.
