  • Gen. Philip Sheridan in 1869, according to http://www.trivia-library.com/b/origins-of-sayings-the-only-good-indian-is-a-dead-indian.htm
  • The nationalist politician who created Pakistan.
  • General Sheridan in 1869. Sheridan is often accused of racism, genocide, and war crimes by historians due to his actions during the "Indian" (actually Native American) Wars. Such actions include wholesale slaughter of the bison population in order to cut off entire Native American nations from their primary source of food, and the deliberate killing of women, children, and the elderly.
  • General Sheridan (as said in the other answers). Here are some other quotes on a similar subject by other notable Americans (I got the quotes from 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee' by Jared Diamond). "The immediate objectives are the total destruction and devastation of their settlements. It will be essential to ruin their crops to the ground and prevent their planting more." - George Washington "This unfortunate race, whome we had been taking so much pains to save and to civilise, have by their unexpected desertion and ferocious barbarities justified extermination and now await our decision on their fate." - Thomas Jefferson "The settler and pioneer have at bottom had justice on their side; this great continenet could not have been kept as nothing but a game preserve for squalid savages." - Theodore Roosevelt
  • The answer was already said but I thought I would add the saying in the same vein "Nits grow into Lice". It was spoken by California militia Colonel Patrick Edward Connor who he gave his infantrymen and cavalry orders to 'take no prisoners and remember nits grow into lice.' when going to fight the Shohsone nation.
  • Lot's of people.
