John Chivington attacked the Indians during the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864 as part of a broader campaign against Native American tribes in Colorado. He believed that it was necessary to eliminate what he saw as a threat to white settlers and to secure land for expansion. Chivington, motivated by a mix of military ambition and racial prejudice, led a surprise assault on a peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho camp, resulting in the deaths of many women and children. This brutal event is now widely condemned as a tragic example of the injustices faced by Native Americans during westward expansion.
