When Fort Defiance was built in 1851 near Canyon de Chelly, Navajo territory, the Indians were forbidden from using the valuable grazing land. As a result, the Fort Defiance was constantly at odds with the Navajos, and two major attacks were launched against the fort in 1856 and 1860.
On April 29, 1860, about 1,000 Navajo warriors attacked the US Army garrison at Fort Defiance in New Mexico Territory, which is now part of Arizona. The Navajo launched a surprise attack but were defeated by 150 American defenders from the 3rd Infantry led by Captain Oliver L. Shepherd. Important event of history.

Since George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796, the United States had followed a foreign policy of non-interventionism. This policy ended with the United States entrance into World War I in 1917. The Presidency of Woodrow Wilson seemed to continue this non-interventionist policy when he declared a policy of neutrality to the nation in 1914 and then ran on and won election in 1916 on the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War.”

Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." -- The First Amendment
The inhabitants of the North American colonies did not have a legal right to express opposition to the British government that ruled them. Nonetheless, throughout the late 1700s, these early Americans did voice their discontent with the Crown. For example, they strongly denounced the British parliament's enactment of a series of taxes to pay off a large national debt that England had incurred in its Seven Years War with France. In newspaper articles, pamphlets and through boycotts, the colonists raised what would become their battle cry: "No taxation without representation!" And in 1773, the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony demonstrated their outrage at the tax on tea in a dramatic act of civil disobedience: the Boston Tea Party.
The early Americans also frequently criticized the much-despised local representatives of the Crown. But they protested at their peril, for the English common law doctrine of "seditious libel" had been incorporated into the law of the American colonies. That doctrine permitted prosecution for "false, scandalous and malicious writing" that had "the intent to defame or to bring into contempt or disrepute" a private party or the government. Moreover, the law did not even accomodate the truth as a defense: in 15th century England, where absolute obedience to the Crown was considered essential to public safety, to call the king a fool or predict his demise was a crime punishable by death.
