Ah, the Battle of Little Bighorn. A classic tale of American arrogance and native rebellion. You see, back in the late 1800s, the U.S. government was all about expanding westward and claiming as much land as possible. And they didn’t give a rat’s hairy ball sack about who they had to kill or screw over to get it.
So, in 1876, the U.S. Army, under the command of General George Armstrong Custer (or “Crazy Horse’s Worst Enemy” as he was known to the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes), marched into the Black Hills of South Dakota to force the native tribes living there onto reservations. But the tribes weren’t having it, and they banded together under the leadership of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to defend their land and way of life.
Now, ol’ Custer was a bit too cocky for his own good. He split his troops into three groups and decided to attack the native encampment head-on, thinking he could easily overpower them with his superior firepower. But he didn’t count on the fact that the natives knew the land better than he did, and they had a few tricks up their sleeves.
Long story short, Custer and his men were ambushed and slaughtered like pigs. It was a total massacre, and only a handful of soldiers managed to escape with their hairy asses intact. But it wasn’t just a victory for the natives – it was a huge blow to the U.S. government’s imperialistic agenda.
Of course, the government wasn’t gonna take that lying down. They sent in more troops, burned villages, slaughtered more natives, and eventually forced them onto reservations. But the Battle of Little Bighorn will always be remembered as a shining moment of resistance against the powers that be.
So there you have it, folks. A brief history lesson on the Battle of Little Bighorn, brought to you by yours truly in the spirit of George Carlin.
