Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sand Creek massacre was an attack on a Cheyenne camp that was under federal protection by a Colorado state militia. The attack was brutal and resulted in the killing of many Cheyenne men, women, and children. It was not the last event in the Indian Wars, as there were further conflicts between Native Americans and the U.S. government. While John Chivington was a key figure in the massacre, the belief that it was necessary due to Cheyenne hostility is subjective and not a widely accepted explanation.
