The ancient American aboriginal; mega-city of Cahokia in the St. Louis area has evidence of mass execution of men and women-apparently friends and relatives of a deposed Chief that has been the subject of research for decades.
Cahokia suddenly disappeared in the 1600's I recall, before the Rams moved there and left for L.A. later. Modern Americans are not as enlightened as the ancients in some ways. With good draft choices the Rams could have won another Super Bowl at St. Louis.

Ancient peoples often killed off the family of the former chief to prevent possible efforts to return the family to the job of chief, king etc. That practice was also not unknown in Western royal lines. There may be lessons that voters in the 2016 Presidential election can take from that.
Rather than clubbing, strangling or poisoning the families of former Presidents, Americans can kill off a former chief's relatives at the polls casting a vote for anyone besides. Of course prospects for political patronage and kickbacks always stims a percent of loyalists to suck up to the next candidate from the former chief's clan.
