The Great Sioux War of 1876, also known as the Black Hills War, was a series of battles and negotiations which occurred between 1876 and 1877 between the Lakota, Sioux, and Northern Cheyenne and the government of the United States. The cause of the war was the desire of the U.S. government to obtain ownership of the Black Hills. Gold had been discovered in the Black Hills, settlers began to encroach onto Native American lands, and the Sioux and Cheyenne refused to cede ownership to the U.S. Traditionally, the United States military and historians place the Lakota at the center of the story, especially given their numbers, but some Indians believe the Cheyenne were the primary target of the U.S. campaign.[5]
Among the many battles and skirmishes of the war was the Battle of the Little Bighorn, often known as Custer's Last Stand, the most storied of the many encounters between the U.S. army and mounted Plains Indians. That Indian victory notwithstanding, the U.S. leveraged national resources to force the Indians to surrender, primarily by attacking and destroying their encampments and property. The Great Sioux War took place under the presidencies of Ulysses S. Grant and Rutherford B. Hayes. The Agreement of 1877 (19 Stat. 254, enacted February 28, 1877) officially annexed Sioux land and permanently established Indian reservations.

The development of the political parties formed in the early republican can be attributed to the rivalry between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
Jefferson was a strong anti-federalist and would help to develop the Democratic-Republican party. Jefferson's focus on a small central government, states rights, and developing a nation based on independent farmers was a message that spoke to many rural communities.
On the other hand, there was Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton favored a strong central government, the development of an industrialized economy, and a loose interpretation of the US Constitution. Hamilton was supported by Northern merchants and wealthy elites, especially in the Northeast.
These two vastly different goals for America helped to spark the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties in the United States during the early Republic.
