The Battle of the Little Bighorn, fought on June 25, 1876,
near the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory, pitted federal
troops led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (1839-76)
against a band of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Tensions between
the two groups had been rising since the discovery of gold on Native
American lands. When a number of tribes missed a federal deadline to
move to reservations, the U.S. Army, including Custer and his 7th
Calvary, was dispatched to confront them. Custer was unaware of the
number of Indians fighting under the command of Sitting Bull (c.1831-90)
at Little Bighorn, and his forces were outnumbered and quickly
overwhelmed in what became known as Custer’s Last Stand.
I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER BUT WHY DONT YOU SEARCH LITTLE BIG HORN THEN OPEN A NEW TAB THEN SEARCH WOUNDED KNEE AND READ ABOUT THEM BOTH AND SEE THERE SIMILARITY JUST SAYING HOPE THAT HELPS!!! :)
American settlers started moving west because they wanted a better life, a big factor of settlers moving west was also for land since it was very cheap, also gold and mining opportunities.
The colonists called it the French and Indian War, and it permanently shifted the global balance of power. By the mid-18th century, both the British and French wanted to extend their North American colonies into the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, known then as the Ohio Territory.
