Custer's Last Stand Was MORE BRUTAL Than History Records!

Описание: On the twenty-fifth of June eighteen hundred seventy-six one of the most brutal and simultaneously silenced battles in American history occurred. Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer – a Civil War hero and rising military star – led two hundred ten soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment into a battle they would not survive. Thirty minutes later they were all dead: every single one. But what really transpired during those few minutes and what happened to the bodies afterward was silenced or downplayed by the US government for decades. The official narrative spoke of heroic soldiers who fought bravely to the last man against an overwhelming force: but the truth was far darker. This is the story of the Battle of the Little Bighorn – an event that shocked the American public and forever altered the relationship between the United States and the indigenous peoples.

To understand how this catastrophe came to pass one must understand the prelude. The US government had guaranteed the Lakota Sioux the sacred Black Hills in perpetuity through the Treaty of Fort Laramie: yet when gold was discovered there the government broke this pact. Thousands of white settlers poured into the protected territory. The Lakota refused to sell their sacred land. The government issued an ultimatum that was deliberately impossible to meet. When the Lakota did not respond the army was dispatched.

In the spring of eighteen hundred seventy-six the largest Lakota bands gathered at the Little Bighorn River – between seven thousand and ten thousand people including up to three thousand warriors. It was the largest gathering of indigenous nations in the history of the Great Plains. Among them were legendary leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Yet the US Army dramatically underestimated the situation. They believed they were facing only a few hundred warriors.

George Armstrong Custer was a man driven by ambition and a thirst for glory. At just thirty-six years old he sought even greater achievements: perhaps even a path to the White House. When his scouts warned him of the immense size of the camp and urged for reinforcements he ignored them. Instead he divided his regiment into three columns and planned a classic pincer movement. It was a decision that would become a death sentence for over two hundred men.

What occurred in the next thirty minutes was not a heroic struggle but a one-sided massacre. The soldiers were hopelessly outnumbered: their weapons jammed in the heat and they were assaulted from every direction. But the true brutality began only after the fighting stopped. The bodies were mutilated in ways that were unimaginable to the American public.

This video reveals the full and uncensored story of Custer’s Last Stand. It exposes both perspectives – American arrogance and greed as well as the indigenous retribution for decades of oppression. It is a tale of errors: revenge: and the horrific consequences of broken trust. It is a story that Hollywood has never truly told.
