Custer's Last Stand

Custer's Last Stand refers to the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where U.S. Army Lt. Col. George Custer and his forces encountered a large coalition of Native American tribes, including the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Outnumbered and outmaneuvered, Custer's troops were overwhelmed and defeated. The battle became a symbol of Native American resistance to U.S. expansion but also highlighted the tragic clashes resulting from conflicts over land and sovereignty. It remains a significant event in American history, exemplifying the complexities of westward expansion and Native American resistance.
