Today in History, in the year 1876, the Battle of Little Bighorn took place.
The battle took place near the Southern Montana's Little Bighorn River, and the rivals were the Native Americans, led by Sioux tribe leaders, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, verses General George Armstrong Custer.
General Custer marched his troops into the territory, but was surprised when they were met with 3,000 Native Americans and were defeated. Every soldier under Custer was killed. It was a serious defeat for the U.S. and a major victory for Native Americans, who were trying to resist the U.S. government from confining them to reservations. But within five years, the Native Americans were sent to live on reservations in spite of their overwhelming victory at 'Custer's Last Stand', the Battle of Little Bighorn.
