'' Year after year, through war after war, we have repeated over and over again the same stupidities that have inevitably led to the same disasters. We had forgotten the lessons of the Revolution, the terrible defeats of Har- mar and St. Clair, and the monumental inef- ficiency of our militia in the war of 1812. The Seminole Indians were supposed to number not more than 1, 200 — or at the wild- est guess 2, 000 — ^yet this war dragged on [104] More Fights for Peaceful Folk from 1835 to 1842, du...ring which years we em- ployed 41, 122 men. In the regular army alone our losses from killed, and soldiers who died of wounds, were 1, 466. Add to this the losses of volunteers and militia, for whom there are no available statistics. No well- informed man doubts that the Seminoles killed more Americans than they had war- riors. The British had massacred us just as badly in our assaults upon Canada, which we satisfactorily explained by saying that the British were regulars. Here were Indians doing the same thing.
