Troops were sent to persuade them to go. A small group was sent to scout ahead and soon discovered the Indians' camp. George Custer led 200 soldiers in his troop. Custer didn't want to wait for reinforcements and instead advanced. The Indians were waiting and ambushed the soldiers. Hundreds to thousands of Native Americans killed all 200 of the soldiers. Later more soldiers were sent to relocate the Indians and soon they were all moved to reservations. ]]> 2016-11-09 19:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136536848 George Armstrong Custer htoedter https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136731775 Custer was a very arrogant and independent man. He isn't reliable and cannot be given great responsibility. A quote from history.com shows how unreliable he is. "Instead of remaining with his troops at Fort Wallace as ordered, he made a hasty journey to Fort Riley to see Elizabeth." Custer left his troops in order to see his wife. He gave no warning, his troops were left to fend for themselves. ]]> 2016-11-10 14:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136731775 Was the win Lakota's ultimate defeat? htoedter https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136849545 Winning the battle forced the U.S. to send more troops to subdue the tribes. Within 5 years they were all relocated to reservations. ]]> 2016-11-10 18:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136849545 Would I fight in Custer's Unit?  htoedter https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136851331 No, Custer is a very unreliable man who didn't wait for orders. I would rather wait for reinforcements then march to my death. ]]> 2016-11-10 18:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136851331 Lakota Leaders htoedter https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136852996 Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse were both leaders of the Lakota. Sitting Bull rallied warriors then dealt with the safety of women and children. Crazy Horse led a group of warriors to met the soldiers head on and ambush them. ]]> 2016-11-10 19:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136852996 Battle or Massacre?  htoedter https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136855657 Battle: a sustained fight between large, organized armed forces.
Massacre: deliberately and violently kill a large number of people.
The incident at Little Bighorn was a Massacre because it was not an organized fight, it was a large number of people being violently slaughtered. ]]> 2016-11-10 19:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136855657 htoedter https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136859846 2016-11-10 19:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/htoedter/z7vbdpzplgab/wish/136859846
