Question

Cheyenne leaders Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse crushed U.S. cavalrymen at Little Big Horn and sent them into permanent retreat in 1876.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse were not Cheyenne leaders, they were Lakota Sioux leaders. The Battle of Little Big Horn actually took place between the Lakota Sioux and the U.S. 7th Cavalry, led by General George Armstrong Custer. While the Lakota Sioux won the battle, they were not able to permanently defeat the U.S. military and were eventually forced onto reservations.
