In his single, two-year term as Governor, he <a class="ae kw" href="https://stanfordpolitics.org/2017/10/28/overdue-encounter-with-past-indigenous-oppression/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; letter-spacing: -0.06px;">raised volunteers for campaigns to murder Native Californians</a> and railed against the same Chinese immigrants who later built his railroad. Hundreds of Indians “were massacred during Stanford’s time as governor alone.” Yet, as De Wolk reminds us, “he headed one of the most astonishing accomplishments in American history, dwarfing those of Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller.” Perhaps the only comparable American achievements were the Manhattan Project, the construction of the Interstate Highway System, and the Apollo Project — all of which came a century later, when the United States was the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth.<span class="abstract" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

In February 1863, Stanford specifically recruited ten new companies of California Volunteers to prevent the “repeated incursions of hostile Indians,” essentially fielding a major US Army operation in doing so. Only two months later, he approved legislation that increased compensation for these volunteers, luring more California men to enlist and expanding the number of soldiers available to hunt American Indians. He later donated over $20 million to found Stanford University, which sits on land previously owned by the Muwekma Ohlone tribe.<div id="attachment_3814" class="wp-caption alignright" style="margin: 7px 0px 21px 31px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; float: right; max-width: 100%; height: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 310px;"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3814" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-3814 size-medium no-display" src="https://i0.wp.com/stanfordpolitics.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/625_85x11_Ohlones_at_Mission_Dolores_in_SF_1822_playing_the_staves_game.jpg?resize=300%2C232&ssl=1" alt="" width="300" height="232" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/stanfordpolitics.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/625_85x11_Ohlones_at_Mission_Dolores_in_SF_1822_playing_the_staves_game.jpg?resize=300%2C232&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/stanfordpolitics.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/625_85x11_Ohlones_at_Mission_Dolores_in_SF_1822_playing_the_staves_game.jpg?w=625&ssl=1 625w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-recalc-dims="1" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; will-change: opacity; opacity: 0;" /></div>Leland and Jane Stanford designed their new university to model the architecture of the California missions, which were used to not only convert indigenous tribespeople into Spanish Catholicism, but also to subject them to a ruthless system of forced labor.<span class="abstract" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" />Father Junipero Serra was the chief pioneer and champion of this Spanish mission system in California===

Several days later, in the Golden State, Leland Stanford--President of

Southern Pacific Railroad, U. S. Senator from California, and former California

Governor--arranged for Waite and several California judges to make an excursion to

Monterey. In a letter dated September 3, Waite’s description of the excursion

referred to a private railroad car and abundant Chinese servants everywhere they

went. (Morrison R. Waite Papers, Box 25, Folder 10.  mta pdf climate
