not nearly enough recoil.

Yes, all human beings since the beginning of time have been horrible to each other.

Well armed US troops got their asses handed to them…. Not a massacre, they just lost…

@@RenegadeBeef absolutely

What is it called when one Native Tribe slaughters another Tribe... Battle or Massacre.. Sad that Indians did not recognize the Village as a Safety Zone.. keep the fighting on the outer circle ... If the Pawnee say to the Sioux we are not here to fight we are just hunting, and the Sioux say Okay you are safe... they should have kept their word.. Yes I know Custer vowed not to attack the Cheyenne but higher Chiefs call the shots President Grant, General Sherman, General Sheridan.. quite the TRIO Scorched Earth Policy General Sherman I am sure learned from the Russians against Napoleon in his West Point History Studies.. Civil War it worked against the Confederates later Natives. Natives laugh at Custer but Sherman and Sheridan got the last laugh.

Are you also upset that fish swim and birds fly?

Just like the British Indian Allies during the War of 1812, when they were ordered to surrender, disarmed then slaughtered, Just like the Mexicans who slaughtered survivors of the Alamo and Goliad ...Just like the 1500 Lakota who slaughtered Pawnee Men, WOMEN, CHILDREN in 1873 Canyon Massacre who were merely hunting for food..

@@arthurkeen934 your missing the point. A massacre is when a bunch of people are killed unarmed like at wounded knee verses armed troops who have weapons

@@rufusmedrano2962 The point was not missed when you look at the Canyon Massacre and the Raisin River Massacre of unarmed General Philip Sheridan,s orders to Custer on the Washita " TO KILL ALL WARRIORS, CAPTURE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN , DESTROY ALL CAMPS AND MATERIAL GOODS AND KILL THE PONIES Gen. Philip H Sheridan 1868 General Philip H. Sheridan orders to Major Eugene Baker on the Marias Massacre Jan 23 1870 Piegan Blackfeet " HIT THEM HARD " General Sheridan Natives laugh at Custer , make jokes of him,, want his statue removed but they do nothing against Sheridan and Sherman

@@arthurkeen934 if you look at wounded knee at least half were woman and children and elderly under army guard and the sand creek where the Indians had the American flag up indicating they we’re friends. They were in a spot directed by the army there was a few worriers. This tribe was the most friendly to the us. Most of the people killed were woman and children. If the government would have held up their end of the treaties a lot of this crap wouldn’t of happened

Happens ALOT in US battles lost against Indians. Most cases are abject humiliating defeats that would no doubt demoralize people from moving into Indian land. Like the Dade ‘Massacre’ in Florida or many others throughout the southwest. They change the narrative so they can say they never lost a battle, it’s pretty effective most Americans buy it.

I would guess because when the us was defeated virtually all survivors were killed whereas if the Americans won although still a massacre the us soldiers would not kill every survivor

Was it a Battle or a Massacre in the Canyon when Pawnee tribe, with women and children had gone hunting, when 1500 Lakota came down on them after promising safe passage..www.historynet.com/when-the-sioux-ambushed-pawnee-hunters-at-massacre-canyon.htm

It doesn't matter if it was a battle. A massacre just means that one side completely slaughtered the other side. Period. That's it. It's what happened in this case, it's also what happened at Wounded Knee. The word massacre applies also too incidents like when hunters slaughtered every bison in a herd - that would be a massacre. The word doesn't have anything to do with who attacked, or who was attacked. It just describes the end result where one side is completely wiped out.

@@StormyPeak I definitely disagree. Captain Fetterman was on a military assignment with an infantry, all fully armed US troopers. But just like Custer he overestimated his force and did not obey orders. The result was disastrous. However 'the Fetterman Fight' was strictly military, unlike what happened at Wounded Knee or Sand Creek, where defenseless civilans were killed without remorse. Those were massacres. It's a clear definition : an act or an instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings, under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty, like massacre of a boatload of refugees.

Thanks to you and the white people we know how to farm and ranch.

Have you read the book.the life of billy dixon ?

@@steverivinius5686 Not yet ,Steve. However my copy of the book came today, so I started reading it this evening. Are you also a relative of Billy?

Awesome to have a relative with so much connection to Texas history. lucky you!!

Hey, thanks for your comment! I’m a big fan of Billy Dixon. I read his story when I was real small, maybe 6….. Tales of the Prairie, I believe the book was called, an old collection of true stories written by pioneers, and those who lived in that time. “The battle of adobe walls” was a fight clearly hinged on one shot, which interested me a great deal, not to mention ‘Buffalo Bill’ was seeemingly born on that day. His description is always the same, from Larry Mcmurty, to everyone from his day and age. A regularly built man of great charisma, full of ‘useless’ knowledge who loved to talk, Buffalo Bill knew just about EVERYONE west of the Mississippi. Everyone who ever met him, loved him. One helluva good man……..in all respects.

@@pattihogan262 And to the history of the wild west itself

"Death of a Gunfighter" by Dan Rottenberg is the best resource.

My great great grandfather was a pony express rider, and friends with him. He said this about Slade in his book- Slade was a good agent and the bane of horse thieves and maraud ers, but he was a toper. Finally dismissed by the company, he went into the freighting business in Virginia City, Montana. Polite and likeable in his sober moments, but a fiend when drunk, he terrorized the town and came to be one of the most notorious bad men of the west. Despite repeated warnings and unkept promises to reform. I greatly regretted his hanging by a Vigilance Committee."No revolutionary movement can be errorless . . . and the execution of Joseph A. Slade is, possibly, the one mistake of the Montana Vigilantes."

There's always one moron that cant help himself and has to mention Trump in everything. You peoples' material is getting stale. Learn something new for crying out loud...

Kinda like Democrats greed and corruption can be found in cities and states under democrat governance. I get ya!

And what lens would you view CHICAGO, Portland, Seattle.,Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and new York through?

@@Na-if5ze PO LOSER

David Day fetterman wasn’t the smartest guy out there. He had the ego of Custer and the hated of natives like chivington. He would brag that with 80 men he could ride though the Sioux nation, which is funny because he had 81 during the massacre
