JUst from the top of my head\n\nNo I dont beleive they were plain indians\nThey were short, strong legs and the reason there were so much difficulty catching them was because they were mountain people\nFor the longuest time they did not need horses.\n\nLater, they needed to live in the plains due to reservation policy.\nTHey were taken away from their natural territories to be located in reservations ( I think they were sent to the Four Corners (around Oklahoma) which was very different from where they came from....\n\nI have Mohawk ancestry...\n\nHope I am not too off the mark...

Yes, I knew that. It's one of a number of incidents which imply that the American forces were, then as now, a rag-bag of ill-disciplined, over-aggressive peasants. They could never have defeated the British Army left to themselves. \n\nIn the Lexington incident, a band of these armed peasants surrendered, and in accordance with the rules of war the British ceased firing and sent two officers to collect their weapons. These officers were unarmed, as the peasants well knew. The peasants refused to hand over their weapons to the officers. They fired on the officers and killed them. \n\nThe Lexington Incident was in the minds of the writers of the Constitution when they referred to "militia" (not "army," notice) and the "right to bear arms." In reality Lexington was no glamorous victory. It was a disgraceful incident showing the Americans' contempt for the rules and rights of war. Nothing changes, does it?\n\nYou are probably aware that the Americans never defeated the British. The British were defeated by a French contingent, who then asked George Washington to take the surrender. The reason they asked Washington to take the surrender was to increase the humiliation of the British soldiery, for Washington's incompetence, rashness and stupidity were all legendary. He could never have defeated the British army, or any other, without the aid of properly trained and equipped foreign troops led by competent generals. France, seeing an opportunity, sent boat-loads of trained soldiers to assist the poor man.\n\nIt's a great shame really. North America could have been quite a decent place to live if it hadn't been for the French interfering.

40 Marine NCO's were involved in the battle for Chatulpetec Castle along with greater numbers of US Army against 750 Mexican  soldiers and 250 military cadets as young as 13, A myth evolved as to a Red Stripe Marine NCO's have on their "Dress Blue" trousers; supposedly commemorating the Marine NCO's bloody fight there. \n\nDuring the battle, six Mexican military cadets refused to fall back when General Bravo finally ordered retreat, and fought to the death against superior U.S. forces. One by one they fell, fighting for their country; when one was left (Juan Escutia), and the US forces about to kill him, he grabbed the Mexican flag, wrapped it around himself and jumped off the castle point.\n\nAn aide to Mexican Commanding General Santa Anna's  witnessing the mass Mexican Army's retreat exclaimed, "God is a Yankee"!\n\nAfterwards the Marines were ordered to guard the Halls of Montezuma ~ Thus "The Marine Hymn"

The Native Americans ,although unique people,are PEOPLE.They have their differences too.And the Chiefs were often at odds with each other on this subject.Many tribes split because of it.Some peaceful leaders,like washakie of the Shoshones made peace with the whites,while those like Quanna Parker of the Comanches fought desperately to resist removal.The Seminoles under Osceola,and Billy Bowlegs led their people into the everglades to avoid removal.So you see,they all dealt with things differently.The Natives are not all one people,but MANY individuals,with many individual leaders,tribes,ect.

Major General Gordon Granger was the one who really saved the Army But, you history book wants you to select George H. Thomas.  William S. Rosecrans' commanded the Army of the Cumberland but again your teacher wants you to name Grant.\n\nGod Bless the Army of Tennessee and the Southern People.

During the Civil War, the Indians on the Great Plains were generally peaceful. In 1864, Major John Chivington (a state militia officer) attacked a peaceful village of Arapahos and Southern Cheyenne at Sand Creek in Colorado, killing over 150 Indians. That attack ignited a general war with the Indians.In 1867, Grant appointed Sheridan to head the Department of the Missouri. His first task was to end the Indian Wars. His troops, even supplemented with state militia, were spread too thin to have any real effect. He conceived a strategy based on his Shenandoah experience. In the Winter Campaign of 1868–69 he attacked the Indians in their winter quarters, taking their supplies and livestock and killing those who resisted. This strategy was to continue until the Indians abided their treaties. A number of excesses occurred, such as the Wounded Knee massacre. The Indian raids subsided during the 1870s and by the early 1880s were almost over.

I am not Native American but would like to share with you the texts that helped me to better understand the Native American culture and my understanding of the atrocities that occurred. Many Native Americans were killed, raped, starved, displaced and betrayed by the settlers to America. The quote from Chief Red Cloud above is probably the simplest and most accurate way to portray the betrayal of his people. \n\nMany tribes were reduced to a minisclule fraction of thier numbers in mass masacres (in which only the white men had rifles) - the most famous of these was the massacre at Wounded Knee. Eventually the tribes in thier dwindling numbers were resigned to reservations and virtually starved because of the fact that they now had only limited hunting lands and the settlers had slaughtered (almost to extinction) the buffalo - which was the Native Americans staple food source. A very similar thing happened here in Australia to our Aboriginal tribes.\n\nThere is so much to know on this topic and I would advise looking into these:\n\n"Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown (book)\n\n"Savagery and the American Indian" by Ken Kirby (film documentary)\n\nand checking out this web site for any more documentaries on your Native People.\n\nhttp://shenandoahfilms.com\n\nYou will not only learn of the atrocious behaviour of an ignorant government through this but will hopefully discover a culture which is rich in warmth, respect and mysticism.
