None of them were innocent tourists. They all went there to murder / butcher the other side. This instance the Plains Indians won. BFD. We killed millions they killed tens of thousands. No one was a hero or villain. I will keep my personal opinions out of it.
We didn’t kill millions, look into how many Indians and non-Indians were killed in combat, Mexicans, blacks, and orientals will be too hard to find numbers for so use whites and Indians.
Good God.
I just cut “how many Indians and non-Indians were killed in combat” out of my post 68 and this is what Google search provided https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+Indians+and+non-Indians+were+killed+in+combat&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
No wonder the left is so successful in making modern Americans hate themselves.
In my research, which isn’t perfect, the numbers I could find years ago were in the thousands, with slightly more whites killed than Indians, the numbers were shockingly low for us who thought of centuries of 10s of thousands killed.
