The Battle of Wabash, often called Harmer's Defeat was the most overwhelming slaughter ever achieved by American Indians against the US Army. General Harmer gathered together 1,460 regulars and militia with the goal of attacking the Miami tribe at what is now Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Miami got word of the attack, and fled carrying as many supplies as possible. General Harmer sent out scouts who ran across an Indian on horseback. The Indian, who was a decoy, fled down a small path. Harmer summoned his men, and were led to a marshy area where they could neither pursue or retreat easily. The 100 Miami slaughtered most of the militia.

Most overwhelming slaughter ever achieved by American Indians against?

The most overwhelming slaughter achieved by American Indians against European settlers occurred during the Pequot War in the 1630s. One of the most significant events was the Mystic Massacre in 1637, where English colonists and their Native allies attacked the Pequot village, resulting in the deaths of around 500 Pequot men, women, and children. This brutal assault effectively decimated the Pequot tribe and marked a turning point in colonial conflicts, showcasing the intense resistance of Native Americans against European encroachment.

Are there any celebrities actively involved against Mexican Horse Slaughter?

I'm not sure. But just for the record, I love your question! If I were a celebrity, I would be, too. My favorite part of the question is how you said "Mexican" instead of just horse slaughter. I am against Mexican horse slaughter, but I support humane slaughter in the US. So I call myself a slaughter-supporter, because I support horse slaughter here in the US. Sorry if this didn't help. Thanks, Jaybrianna.
