<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 404869, member: 66"]Indians slaughtered at Little Big Horn? I wouldn't call it a slaughter. Roughly 80 killed (An averaged figure of the 36 reported by Sitting Bull and the 136 reported by Red Horse) out of a force of 900 - 1800 or 5 to <10%, vs 268 whites. Sounds to me like the indians did exceptionally well. Somewhere between 4 and 8 cavalry killed for each indian death.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for them being killed for their land, of course they were. And it doesn't matter who their leaders were, the slaughter of the indians unfortunately was bound to happen. If you want to consider that any time a clash between the whites and the indians resulted in a slaughter of the indians then maybe instead of an indian warrier on horseback, he should be shown sprawled on the ground next to the horse becaus that was what eventually happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
