Author Ruth Shinsel's article in Mankind Magazine quoted Mr. Lincoln, "When we were the political slaves of King George and wanted to be free, we called the maxim that 'all men are created equal' a self-evident truth; but now that we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves ourselves, we have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim a self-evident lie." Author Shinsel writes, "The Knights of the Golden Circle had, at first, been organized to uphold the ideal of a great golden empire. An aristocracy, a circle of noblemen, would hold perpetual titles to large plantations and numerous slaves. An expanding sphere reaching from the Demerara and the Amazon, throughout the temperate zones of the Americas would be exploited. In the eyes of the feudal-minded Knights, all laborers, black, brown, red, yellow, and white, were considered to be mudsills of society. Improvident, poverty-stricken, and vicious, laborers the world over would be immeasurably better off, they contended, and far less vicious if tenderly cared for and forced to labor by kind, wise, and benevolent masters. They called all slavery a "positive good." Mr. Lincoln expressed a different view, "Most governments have been based on the denial of equal rights of men... ours began by affirming those rights. They said, some men are too ignorant and vicious to share in government. Possibly so, said we; and by your system, you would always keep them ignorant and vicious. We proposed to give all a chance; and we expected the weak to grow stronger, the ignorant wiser, and all better and happier together. We made the experiment; and the fruit is before us."
The aforementioned Knights of the Golden Circle came to Montana Territory and built plantations on Indian reservations called "reservation/county" governments whose land base is on stolen Indian lands robbed in complicity with the United States Government.
