The November 29, 1847 Whitman Massacre


After the first disease epidemics were initiated by white Christian leaders, the Iron Confederation responded quickly. In 1847, a measles epidemic was deliberately initiated by Marcus Whitman, who was not only a doctor, but he was also a Christian religious leader with deadly intentions. On November 29, 1847 the Iron Confederation retaliated against the evil white Christians who were amongst Marcus Whitman’s followers. The Whitman Mission was founded by the wicked Christian Marcus Whitman in 1836. It was located about six miles from present day Walla Walla, Washington. After the deliberately initiated “Germ Warfare” ended, around half of the population of that regions Indians were dead. Some 67 people were in the Whitman Mission when the battle commenced, and 14 of them were killed, while the remaining 53 (women and children) were taken captive.
