Wounded Knee Essay

Wounded Knee was one of the final catasrtophic evnts in a long serries of violen conflicts motivated by racism, direspect, and lack of understanding. The first source was a essay, about the night before the Wounded Knee. The second source was a Youtube Video about the wounded Knee monument. The third source was another Youtube video that was a documentary. Wounded knee was a catastrophic event where many people from the Souix tribe were massacred. This was done but the 7th Cavalry. The 7th Cavalry killed even the women and children in the tribe. This event happend only two days after Christmas on the eve of December 28th.



Wounded Knee was a massacre. Wounded knee was a massacre because it is not fair that the women and children were also killed. This all happened becasue the Souix killed Custer, and the 7th cavalry wanted to get Bigfoot. Bigfoot was the "leader" of the Souix. The 7th Cavalry killed altogether 350 people. 250 Women and children were killed and 100 men. The 7th Cavalry was very abusive to indian men. The soilders of the 7th Cavalry would trick the men into thinking they were going to kill them when the soilders were just toutering them. Another reason why I think that this was a massacre is becasue the Souix didn't fight back.



Wounded Knee was one of the final catastrophic evnts in a long serries of violen conflicts motivated by racism, direspect, and lack of understanding. In conclusion I believe that wounded knee was a massacre and not a battle.
