Carlisle Indian School: its origins and waning relevance
A historical overview details Carlisle as an experiment by an American officer using captured Indians to create an educational mission. Supported by the Indian Rights Association, the school grew to a 1000-pupil campus at Carlisle barracks, aiming to train Indians as self-supporting citizens. As federal programs expanded and other schools improved, Carlisle faded and is unlikely to reopen for Native students.

It states duplicating Germany would trigger universal conflict, labeling Germany an outlaw and blocking any prisoner exchange.
