The Battle of The Little Bighorn was one of America's worst defeats against native warriors. George Custer led his 7th cavalry against the non treaty force under Sitting Bull. Custer greatly underestimated the size of the force he would fight and thus attacked unknowingly at a great disadvantage. The entirety of Custer's force was destroyed, but while the Americans suffered a great defeat, the loss spurred America's will to subdue the non treaty Indians once and for all.
