Although the Blount Report of July 17, 1893, upon which the Apology Resolution was based, was an official report of the U.S. government, it was followed by the Morgan Report on February 26, 1894, which after public hearings and testimony under oath found the Blount Report to be mistaken on many of the facts reported.
Aínda que o Informe Blount de 17 xullo de 1893, no que se basea a Resolución de Desculpa, foi un informe oficial do goberno dos Estados Unidos, foi seguido polo Informe Morgan en febreiro de 1894, o cal, tras audiencias públicas e testemuñas baixo xuramento, atopou que o Informe Blount era inexacto en moitos dos feitos relatados.
