the battle of big horn begun due to the cinstant ancient feud between the two households
The battle of little big horn happened because the Government was trying to strip the Native American lands away from them and move them to a reservation, so they had a proclaimation that stated by Jan . 1876 (I believe). ALL native Americans must report to the Indian agency or be considered hostiles. Gen. Custer led an expedition to Black Hills in 1874 and found gold there , so naturally the white people wanted it .
Also the Indians didn't read newspapers back then so they didnt know of the proclaimation . Gen. Custer Under Gen. Terrys command as well as Gen. Gibbons, and Gen . Crook would combine forces from three directions to capture the Native Americans in one place. The U.S. Army started from three different Forts, and on June 26th they were to meet at the Little Big Horn valley in Montana. Ge. Crokk was beaten back by Crazy horse's band and retreated but due to miscomunications , no one knew of Crooks defeat. Custer advanced faster than the rest and it was his plan to attack on the 26th , but some Natives found his force on the 25th and he decided to attack as word would make the encampment flee. so he decided to divide or try to contain the Natives with his small force, and was wiped out. The other troops that were to help him in this engagement were to arrive a full two days late. So That is why the battle of the little big horn took place. Native Americans have lived on this soil at lot longer than us whites or europeans have, and although we made promises and treaties most of them were never honored, or were honored until they found something the land held that could make people rich. Its a sad portion of our history,
one will still havent resolved correctly ! And I speak as someone who is related to Gen. Custer.
