Wounded Knee

The Wounded Knee Massacre or "The Battle" others may call was a deliberate and terrible act from the U.S 7th Cavalry Regiment. The soldiers one day before the the Massacre escorted the Lakota led by "Big Foot" and set up for the night. The Native Americans had no Idea what was going on. The next morning the U.S soldiers began to take away the weapons of the Native Americans and began to become suspicious as would I. One soldier shot one of the Lakota for not giving up his weapon the massacre of the Lakota began even there own U.S soldiers were killed by friendly fire. I cannot believe how nervous the government was becoming over the spiritual gathering of the Native Americans praying for a flood to kill all the White Americans in the Americas. I believe that was just a excuse for the government to exterminate the Lakota tribe and take there land.
