The battle of little bighorn
George A. Custer and the Army would have/could have won the Battle of Little Bighorn if they didn't spread out their men, followed orders, and arrived at the Little Bighorn River at the same time. The Battle of Little Bighorn began on June 25, 1876, because the Native Americans where tried of having to move all the time for White men, so they decided to take a stance and fight for their land. The Sioux and Cheyenne joined together in Montana to fight, lead by the great leader, Sitting Bull. George Armstrong Custer perhaps could have beaten the Indians if he didn't spread out all his regiments. Custer divided his force into 3 smaller ones and sent them off to different people
Custer thought that those Indian warriors where scouts of the Sioux village and hastily decided to attack the Sioux village right away. The Army would have won the Battle of Little Bighorn if all the cavalry's reached the Sioux village at the same time. George Custer could have won the battle if he had followed orders and didn't make rash decides. Because of this hast attack, Custer did not realize what terrain he had to go through to attack the Native Americans, giving the Indians an advantage. If Terry, Custer, Crook, Reno and Gibbons reached the Sioux village at the same time they could have beaten the Indians in a long, hard battle. If Custer followed the orders given by the Army he could have made better decisions which could have saved his life and his men's life. Now because of the split Custer was left with only 556 troops compared to the 1,000 or so men he would have had. But, a year later the Sioux Nation was broken and defeated. George Custer and Marcus Reno's men where the only ones who made it to the battle and actually fought. When Custer and his men where making their way along to the Sioux village along the Little Bighorn River, Custer spotted about 40 Indian warriors. So to end it all, the Battle of Little Bighorn ended on June 25, 1876, with all of Custer' s men dying, including George A. In conclusion, if Custer/Army had just followed orders, attacked at the same time, and didn't divide up their men they would have won the Battle of Little Bighorn. If Custer didn't divided his men up he could have put up a long, mean battle against the Indians.
