    As I was growing up my aunt and uncle owned the property next door to the Sand Creek Massacre. Even then it was understood by the people who lived in the area that Chivington was a miserable murderous montster. The attack on Black Kettle's group was an attack on a peaceful band that was exactly where they said they would be. It wasn't a battle. It was a massacre.

    • @doorusthewalrus6903
      @doorusthewalrus6903 11 дней назад

      It was a massacre and a battle. The two are not mutually exclusive, nor is it justifying atrocities by pointing it out. The contents of the camp showed that Black Kettle at the very least harbored warbands raiding in the area. Black Kettle himself was a peace chief, but this was the only option for leverage. He was helpless to stop the waring youths in his and other Cheyenne bands, but that didn't stop him from using white, girl hostages to get ransom payments from the settlers. He was not an altruistic martyr anymore than Chivington was a villainous monster. Shades of grey as are we all.

      @@doorusthewalrus6903 the Great Sioux Uprising started over a small group of young men returning from a failed hunting mission, stumbling on a chicken’s eggs. One of the warriors wanted to take the eggs, one of the other warriors said that they couldn’t take the eggs because they belonged to the farmer. An argument ensued amongst the young men. The end result was the farmer’s wife and children were killed and the war began. In many ways. Quite similar to how WWI started over the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

      I was a former teacher on and off for ten years during and after college. The administration is all run on feelings and "empathy," hellbent on pushing a political agenda that makes folks "feel safe." I butted heads so often that they put me with the delinquents to be ignored...which was awesome! We'd sing historical songs, build models out of cardboard, read historical accounts from the people who experienced the events etc. After a year, students when from dropouts to graduating early, fat kids lost weight, skinny kids gained muscle, and illiterates were reading above their grade level. Once the administration caught wind of my methods (after a year of success stories) they stripped the curriculum and mandated I teach from the textbook. I quit in protest. Within a week after I left, all but two of my classroom students dropped out of high school. Our school system isn't built to help students succeed. It's there to control them. I can go on for days about decreasing IQ scores since the 1960s, systematic child abuse, and the pathetic ability of the MAJORITY of our teachers to impart knowledge and wisdom to kids. Why are stories like these not taught? Because the system is designed as such.

Their Civil War experience plus arrogance was their undoing as the Sioux/Cheyenne did not fight like Johnny Reb. Unfortunately...it was Fetterman 's Cavalry officer Grummond who broke ranks chased the Indians, got surrounded & then Fetterman had to save his butt so it was Grummond who got the entire 80 men killed.
