Best Answer

Custer had an ego that couldn't accept the fact that 10,000 Native Americans were camped on the Little Big Horn river. In mid June 1876 three column of US soldiers lined up against the camp . A force of 1200 Native Americans turned back the first column on June 17. Five days later Custer was ordered to scout ahead for enemy troops. On the morning of June 25 Custer was near the camp and decided to press ahead than to wait for reinforcements. When he left Ft.Lincoln on the morning of the battle he only had 600 men with him. The Native Americans fighting under the command of Sitting Bull had 3,000 men and outnumbered the 7th Calvary and within an hour the battle was over with all troops dead. Several of the Custer family were killed in the battle of Little Big Horn. Two of his brothers, his brother in law, and a nephew were killed. The battle was the most decisive battle in the history of Native Americans, but it also dealt the death knell for the Native Americans way of life. Within 5 years all the tribes were removed to reservations.
