Built on a Lie: Custer's Death & the Black Hills

Did Custer deserve to die at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and did the Lakota steal the Black Hills? Join me as we dig further into the history behind the Great Sioux War of 1876. Topics include the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, the Black Hills gold rush, Ulysses S. Grant's secret White House meeting, the Watkins report, the December 1875 ultimatum, and the 1980 Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Sioux Nation. We also cover the Crow, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Arikara claims to the Black Hills, Red Cloud's War, the Grattan Massacre, Major Reno and Captain Benteen at the Reno Court of Inquiry, Bloody Knife and Gall, the jammed Springfield carbines, Custer's rumored presidential ambitions, the Washita, Sand Creek and Chivington, the Pawnee and Massacre Canyon, the Dakota War of 1862, and whether historians are biased about George Armstrong Custer and Native American history.   🤠 Custer's Last Stand (Part 1) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoxaZjP5_Yg&t=2s   🤠Reno Hill: Surviving Little Bighorn (Part 2) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OCviNh8vDk&t=12s 🤠Watch This Next!!!! ➡️ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn17wflMQRAi10y2tT4P3A60vjLMLpB3g&si=80HkQDCKGTBjWweu 🤠Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ 🤠Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ 🤠Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ 🤠Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest 🤠Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra #wildwest #oldwest #custerslaststand #history
