How about Marcus and Narcissa Whitman?  \nThe Whitmans were missionaries who traveled to Oregon; Narcissa was one of the first Caucasian women to travel the trail.  \nThere is a rather interesting story about how they died; both were killed by Cayuse Indians who thought the Whitmans were giving medicine only to the white settlers of the area.

lived from 1885-1941.\n\nNovember 9: Story 1  After listening to brief arguments yesterday afternoon Justice Childs in Special Term dismissed the habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Anthony C. Woeckener against Frank C. Bostock to get possession of his wife, Chiquita, the doll lady. William J. Creamer represented Bostock and Eugene M. Bartlett appeared for Chiquita's boy husband.\n\nAs soon as the writ was dismissed, and before Mr. Bostock could leave the court house, papers were served on him in a suit for $20,000 damages brought by Woeckener for Bostock's action in separating him from his wife. At the same time an order of arrest for Mr. Bostock, as an incident to this civil action, was prepared for the purpose of insuring his presence at the trial. This order of arrest was served by Deputy Sheriff Bates and later Mr. Bostock furnished bail in the sum of $1000 and was released. \n\nAll I could find about him lol.

Lincoln. The chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Roger B. Taney, ruled Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus to be unconstitutional (only Congress has such power), but he was ignored by Lincoln as the mass arrests of political dissenters continued. As described by Dean Sprague in Freedom Under Lincoln (p. 161): "The laws were silent, indictments were not found, testimony was not taken, judges did not sit, juries were not impaneled, convictions were not obtained and sentences were not pronounced. The Anglo-Saxon concept of due process, perhaps the greatest political triumph of the ages and the best guardian of freedom, was abandoned." Thousands of political prisoners languished in Fort Lafayette in New York harbor, which came to be known as "The American Bastille." \n\nDozens of Northern newspapers were shut down and their editors and owners were imprisoned if they opposed the Lincoln administration. On May 18, 1864 Lincoln sent the following order to General John Dix: "You will take possession by military force, of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce . . . and prohibit any further publication thereof . . . you are therefore commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison . . . the editors, proprietors and publishers of the aforesaid newspapers."\n\nAll telegraph communication was censored, the railroads were nationalized, and federal troops were ordered to interfere with Northern elections to ensure Republican victories. Lincoln won New York state by 7000 votes "with the help of federal bayonets," wrote Pulitzer Prize–winning Lincoln biographer David Donald in Lincoln Reconsidered. Several dozen members of the Maryland legislature were thrown into military prison along with the mayor of Baltimore and Congressman Henry May of Maryland so that they could not meet to discuss secession.

The Oregon Trail isn't a real "trail" per se. It was more about the movement west of the settlers in search of a better life. There were numerous Oregon Trails.

Don't get excited by a new word.\n\nWhat caused the crime?\n Environment?\n Mental impairment?\n Motivations of revenge?\n Passion? (blinded by love or infatuations)\n Learned behavior?\n\nThe list goes on and on. The arguments can be appreciated by both sides in the interest of justice and corrections.

Anti charge:\n\n...when questioned closely the witnesses said they never really saw the gold plates except when they were wrapped up or covered. They used terms like “vision” or “I saw them with the eye of faith.” ...Of these eleven total witnesses, over half apostatized from the Mormon church.... Joseph Smith and other Mormon officials are on record as calling his three main witnesses “thieves and liars.” In History of the Church Joseph Smith said, “Such characters as ... David Whitmer, Oliver Cowdery, and Martin Harris, are too mean to mention, and we would like to have forgotten them.” (McElveen, 48-49.)\n\nThe testimony of the Book of Mormon witnesses (Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer) has been a thorn in the side of the critics for more than a century and a half (read this testimony). Many critics have tried to ignore their testimonies, while others have simply glossed over their significance. Those who have attempted to tackle the issue generally have relied on ad hominem arguments– attacking the credibility, honesty, or motives of the Three Witnesses.\n\nWhat possible motives might have driven the Three Witnesses to proclaim (and maintain) their testimonies? It is important to keep in mind that these three men never denied their testimonies. Throughout their entire lives they claimed that an angel of God had shown them the Book of Mormon plates. Trying times arose in each of their lives– persecution, loss of financial gains, etc. Each of these men separated themselves from the Mormon Church at some point in their lives for one reason or another. Some may think this shows that neither the Book of Mormon, nor the LDS Church are true. On the contrary, we point out the significance of the departure of the faith by these three men because despite their loss of membership, they continued to affirm their testimonies of the Book of Mormon. Both Martin Harris and Oliver Cowdery rejoined the Church at later dates, but although David Whitmer did not, he maintained to his death that his testimony was true. Think of the significance. Despite excommunicate, embarrassment, and ill-feelings, these men knew they had seen an angel; they knew they had heard a voice from heaven declaring the book’s authenticity; and they knew that the Book of Mormon was the word of God.\n\nSome may wonder why any of these witnesses could ever leave or be excommunicated from the Mormon Church. All men make mistakes, and these men were no different. The times in which these men lived were trying times, times when persecution against the Mormons was severe, to say the least. Did not Judas betray Christ? Judas, an Apostle chosen by the Lord himself? Are we to conclude therefore that Christianity is a fraud? Did not Peter deny Christ three times? Peter, who was the chief Apostle, and an Apostle who performed great works both during and after Christ’s ministry? Did not King David fall from favor in the eyes of God due to his sins?\n\nAs I see it, there are five possible motives for proclaiming their testimony, and possible motives for maintaining their testimonies.\n\nPossible Motives for Proclaiming Their Testimonies\n1) Wealth– If the Book of Mormon were to become a best seller, they might see lucrative returns by falsely testifying to have seen the angel and plates. Perhaps they even thought they would start an organization by which they could con thousands of people out of their money.\n\n2) Fame– The Three Witnesses might have hoped that people the world over would have been impressed by their false testimonies and might have shown them the adulation reserved for royalty.\n\n3) Power– Tied to both wealth and fame, the Three Witnesses might have falsely testified in hopes of gaining power of other people. Such power might secure them financially for the rest of their lives.\n\n4) Duped– They might have been duped by Joseph Smith or their own fantasies. Perhaps Joseph Smith was such a brilliant con artist that h

Kissinger was one ,or I should saw is one of the worst scumbags going. There is so much I can only suggest reading " The Trial of Henry Kissinger" by Chris Hitchings. I would say the man should be declared an enemy of the USA. He is also guilty of Crimes Against Humanity. It's because of ppl like him, that the US will not recognize "The World Court, for Crimes against Humanity.
