The details i have here are very important becase they are what helps you see that it was a massacre and not a battle.


III. Conclusion
This was not only a massacre on men but woem and children.
That just because someone does not have the same skin tone as you dose not make them any diffentthe you.
That the white men that came to this land tryed to take over but when they didnt they got mad and tryd to kill everyone.
that not olny where the men in danger but so were their wifes and children too.
That you souldnt kill everyone just because your captin died in battle.


Although the U.S. Army has attempted to shift the blame for the massacre to the Sioux, it was in actuality caused by the actions of the 7th Cavalry, whose members were intent on getting even for Custer's defeat at the Battle of the Little big horn.

My sources come from the eassy on Mr.Viles blog it was The wouned knee about the soldiers. Thats where i got most of all my info.

The soldiers where mad becase at the battle of Little Big Horn Custer got killed so the U.S Army tryed very hard to make it like it was all the indins falt and none of it was on them they were only trying to fight off the indins not the other way around. so when the 7th Cavalry took Big Horn prosioner some of the soldirs got drunk and tryed to kill him the the men told to grand him didnt let him. The next day they took all the guns away from the indins when they were doing that they would pull an unloaded guns on them and pull the trigger.

Then when the soldirs when a battle broke out the men Indins got some of there guns back some others died trying to get them back.

The women and children ran from the battle most where killed running away, most of the women died and told there children to run and they did, but when the battle was over the soldiers called to th childern that lived and called them out of there hiding places and shot them...... The childern didnt do anything to them and still they killed them.

Thsi was not only a massacur on men but women and childern too.

I have learned that it dont matter what color your skin is diffent then your's dose not make them diffent.

That the white men that came to this land tryed to take over but when they didnt. So they got mad and tryed to kill everyone.that was not olny where the men in danger but so were their wifes and children too
