Take the example of George Washington thinking of and referring to Indians as "savages" and "beasts." In 1783, Washington wrote that, "the gradual extension of our settlements will as certainly cause the savage, as the wolf, to retire." By retire he meant, move away or be killed. Both "the savage" and "the wolf" were described by Washington as, "beasts of prey, tho' they differ in shape." This is an example of Washington using the imaginative power of thought in a dehumanizing, and, arguably, pathological manner.
Cognitive theory posits that how we conceive (think) of something predetermines how we will behave toward that thing. Thus, the imaginative American conception of Indians as "beasts of prey" led to very specific kinds of pathological behavior consistent with that mental image (thought, or idea).
For example, American troops - at Washington's instruction - carried out a scorched earth policy against the Seneca Nation by destroying entire towns and vast food supplies. In some cases, American troops skinned the bodies of the Seneca people who had been killed. The troops would skin the bodies "from the hips downward to make boot tops or leggings." Since the Seneca killed were imagined or conceived of as "beasts," they could, without any twinge of American conscience, be skinned like wild beasts.
