The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Abraham Lincoln respect Native American Indian tribes, although he considered "foreign people," not part of the United States. He did not hate Indians, neither supported them. He simply respected their culture. When he signed the order to kill 39 Native American Indians, he did so after ending a violent uprising in 1892. However, what people do not remember is that by this action, Lincoln's decision saved the life of approximately 264 Dakota Indians.
