Slaughter of Sand Creek

 The Cheyenne tribe, led by the first black kettle, mounted on Sand Creek according to the U.S. military's words.Major Wincoup took care of them (although it's absurd to protect them in the first place).However, senior commanders who hated Winkup's treatment replaced their commanders.New commander Entery confiscates weapons and reduces food rations.On 27 November 1864, the Upper Sivington and Anthony "plan to collect Indian head skins and turn the village into a bloodbath." Of course, there were officers against it, but the opposition was completely ignored. At 8 p.m. on November 28, the Sivington Expeditionary Force was divided into four divisions (more than 700 men).Farm owner as guide on a farm near Spring Bottom during the march.The owner of this farm was William Bent's eldest son, Robert Bent, and his two younger brothers were living with the Cheyenne. The attack on Cheyenne Village begins at dawn.According to Edmund Guerrier, who had been through that time, "A large battalion of U.S. troops was running toward our village along the stream.More soldiers were seen flocking to the barn with horses in the south.The village was in a state of chaos.Women and children screamed when they saw the U.S. troops coming in, and the men ran back into the tent to get their weapons...Looking toward the chief's tent, I could see a black kettle holding a large American flag at the end of a long tent and holding a pillar of a flag flying in the dusk of winter."-FYI, the American flag was given by the U.S. military, saying no soldier could fire at them. He showed no hostility by mobilizing the American and White flags, but was completely ignored.In the meantime, the left bone and white antelope, who tried to stop shooting with their bare hands, were shot.Left bone survived, but white antelope died.Before death, white antelope leaves a few words of song - nothing survives long. This land and mountains only Robert Bent describes this disastrous situation as follows. "There were five women crouching under the bank.As the U.S. soldiers approached, they showed up and begged for help to let them know they were women.But the U.S. military shot and killed all the women.-Extremely -Indiscriminate slaughter was taking place in front of everyone's eyes, regardless of men, women, and children.All the dead people I saw had their heads skinned, and one pregnant woman had a split stomach, which I thought was a fetus lying on her side.Captain Sol said the fetus is right behind him.The body of the white antelope was dismembered.I've heard a U.S. soldier say he's going to make a cigarette wrap with it." Before the massacre, Sivington openly advocated killing all Indians, children, and skinning their heads, as well as Lieutenant James Connor's description, "The next day I went there, everyone was skinned and terribly mutilated. To the best of my knowledge, I cannot think that this atrocity was committed without Sivington's knowledge.Here's a little cruel. Fortunately, a lot of Indians have fled, but this carnage is devastating.105 women and children, 28 men died.In contrast, nine people were killed and 38 wounded in the Sivington unit, but the casualties were caused by shooting at each other. Seven people, including Robert Bent's younger brother Charlie Bent, were taken prisoner, and Charlie Bent was lucky to be reunited with Robert to survive.The other brother, George Bent, fortunately fled to Smokey Hill. Afterwards, the three Bent brothers decided to turn their backs on the white people forever and joined the Cheyenne.Plan to avenge Cheyenne and the Suu Kyi alliance, but ultimately fail and hand Colorado over to the white man forever.
