1. What happened at Custer’s Last Stand? How is this event related to the Battle of Wounded Knee?
In 1776, Colonel George Custer and his soldiers of the Seventh Calvary were stationed
near the Little Big Horn River in Montana. Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull led a group of
Native Americans to attack the Seventh Calvary. Custer and his men were all killed by the
Native American resistance at the Battle of Little Big Horn. At the Battle of Wounded Knee
in South Dakota, 300 Sioux were killed by the Seventh Cavalry previously led by Custer.
The Seventh Cavalry wanted revenge for the attack on Custer. The Indian wars ceased
after the Battle of Wounded Knee.
