The only good Indian is a dead Indian and to save the man the Indian must be killed. Punish the raiders, kill their horses, run them down, starve them out, and burn their camps. Scattered bands of Indians were no match for the American Army. The 72 warriors who were captured were shackled and automatically declared guilty without even being given a trial. Cornal Pratt was the only one who saw the dilemma and thought of the Indians as humans though he did think that they needed to be reformed. Pratt decided to experiment with the Indians. He put them on a train and moved them down to Florida. On the way down whenever the train stopped, white people would gather around just to catch a glimpse of the "savages." On the train ride down Pratt stopped to talk with one of the chiefs who asked him how hed like to be chained and taken away from his wife daughter and everything else that knew. This hit a soft spot in Pratt as he had a daughter of about the same age. Grey Beard tried to run away at the next stop and was "shot like a tiger escaping from the zoo." During the first few weeks in St Augustine Florida several people died from heat and exhaustion. Then Pratt did something that the Indians would have never expected. He took off their chains, cut their hair and gave them army clothes. He stripped them of their identity to fit the white American image. Automatically this must have been tramitizing to the Indians because cutting hair is a sign of warning and death. At the end of the 1st year Pratts reliable guard was planning an escape. Pratt injected them with sleeping drugs and then carried them off the territory. When they regained conciousness he brought them back. This gave the appearance that Pratt had the power not only to take lives at will but to give them back as well. This gave Pratt tremendous power over the Indians. Pratt and his wife then started a school and taught the Indians to speak English and read.
