Best Answer

Red Cloud declared war against the U.S. over the establishments of army posts along the Bozeman Trail, thru lands ceded to the Sioux thru prior treaty. In Particular, he was outraged by the U.S. sending a delegation to renegotiate that treaty to allow the forts, after the Forts were already under construction... Implying that the Sioux really had no option to refuse. Red Cloud ultimately forced the army to withdraw from the disputed Forts, making Red Cloud's war the only war against the US ever won by native peoples.
