Cockstock Incident

 * ... that an argument over a horse led to a law banning all black settlers from Oregon in 1844? Thomas C. Mcclintock's article "James Saules, Peter Burnett, and the Oregon Black Exclusion Law of June 1844" in The Pacific Northwest Quarterly Vol. 86, No. 3 (Summer, 1995), pp. 121-130, writes on page 129, "That the white settlers feared free blacks would precipitate Indian trouble is unquestionable... that the fear... produced the exclusion law... is supported by later events."
 * ALT1:... that fears of a Native American uprising likely led Oregon's provisional government to ban all black settlers in 1844? Source: Same as the first hook.

 * Note that I reviewed the DYK for Dewey Readmore Books. Owlsmcgee (talk) 22:53, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I corrected some spelling errors and added a missing word to one of the hooks. Daniel Case (talk) 19:40, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, policy things look good. Hook's format is correct, the fact is cited in the article and neutral, and really interesting (I'd pick the first one, since it's more intriguing). QPQ is done and already promoted. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 23:01, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
