Worse massacres in U.S. history

Numerous publications and radio/TV reporters have said that the events at Orlando are the “worst mass shootings in U.S. history.”

Maybe Henry Ford was right when he said that “History is bunk.” Does no one want to remember what history taught us when we had the Mormon massacre of 1857 or Wounded Knee or even Custer’s 7th Cavalry. All of these incidents were mass shootings.

It seems that Santayana’s warning, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” has proven to be correct.
