@@jozebutinar44 Gwad, that is such a stupid comment it's amazing you have no shame in making it. I heard trump is selling stupid berries. You should buy some more.
the Indian tribes where stealing each others land and fighting each other and slaving each other waaaaaaaaaaay before the white man came. And for the same reasons the white man came and took it. The Tribes was not just siting around smoking weed and singing at the camp fire. They where a warrior culture that got defeated, like their enemies got defeated by them.

just finished re-reading vollman's book on the nez perce, and not in the mood to do any more reading for a goodly long while. but, i'm certainly in the frame of mind for more on this topic, and getting it in video form is just the ticket. couple years ago i had started to watch son of morning star i think it was on youtube, but gave it up, it just wasn't a satisfying business. and other than that, i have gotten all the way through to this stage of my life without ever having seen or read anything else about the custer business. heck, i HAVE read a bunch of civil war stuff, yet somehow managed never to find out that custer was involved even there. i recall whatever i was reading made a big deal about mclellan being a bit of a goofball, that's the singular recollection i have now. well, about 18 seconds into this doc, i knew it was going to be good. many thanks to the producers director and crew for such a great job.
No mention of archaeologist Douglas Scott's work in mid-1980's showing how Custers regiment was mostly recently enlisted men [less than a year] average age (22) and ancestry of the soldiers (about 50 percent American born, with others coming from Germany and Ireland and not battle tested.... unearthed thousands of bullets and casings and 47 different types of firearms....estimated that Custer and his troops were outnumbered 9-2, and that the native americans used the topography to reign relentless fire down into the coulee where the fleeing remains of the regiment were retreating.
Seen many moons with these wrinkled eyes The years have made me old but they've made me wise Now the white man lives where our rivers run For now better days have passed We walk the streets of broken glass Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun Like dogs we were driven from this place Such injustice time will not erase Oh these changes cannot be undone You can feel the anger inside of you Hold your head high Let your aim be true Though your heart beats like a drum My native son Bryan Adams - Native Son
This idea of slaughter is a recurrent theme in North America... General Edward Cornwallis, Governer of Nova Scotia, not only put a bounty on MicMac people but traded blankets infected with tuburcullossis to the population.
I think the best movie on Custer is Son Of The Morning Star but sadly the Sioux are still getting screwed by the American government th-cam.com/video/TjiufIcJ7NI/w-d-xo.html
Joe Biden; This made me remember a job I had. I suppose to deliver a mesaage from scouts to this guy Custer. But then I got lost & forgot the message. I'm sure it worked out. Like c'mon man! 😮😂😅😊
I don't get it,the film says this Custer bloke was a cavalier who fought in the Civil War,but I've read dozens of books about that war from King Charles raising of the standard at Nottingham to the Roundheads crushing victory at the Battle of Worcester & there's never been a word about a General Custer.Maybe there was a Civil War in some other country that he fought in,if not I think he's a purely fictional character a bit like Deputy Dawg
Good narative, frustrating lack of troops movement on a battlefield map (in very detail, yes), exclusively focus in Custer figure disregarding Crazy Horse for example which i know moved from Reno's position to Custer's back. I would give a mediocre 6/10.
My Great, Great Grandfather on my Mother's side served and fought during the American Civil War with the Union Army; GROUNDS, ALGERNON. -Age, 24 years. Enlisted March 30, 1863, at New York; mustered in as private, Company B, March 30, 1863, to serve three years; wounded in action at Trevillian Station, Va., June 12, 1864; transferred, July or August 1864, to Company M; transferred, February 27, 1865, to Company B, Ninth N. Y. Cav. I am told he was at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, on April 9th, 1865, for the surrender of General Lee's forces and was a part of Gen Custer's regiment. He returned to Australia and was a Chemist in Victoria and NSW.
I've been a Custerphobe for many years now. While his legacy is now doomed, those still in control of this narrative yet written, never mention that Benteen would have still been off scouting bluffs, if hadn't disregarded what he thought was a foolish order of Custer's after scouting only 2 bluffs, thus certainly saving Reno's command and likely his own. I might add, no way a column of 700 on horse sneaks up on 2,000 mobile Indians of which many, including Crazy Horse, were only 2 weeks removed from the Rosebud Battle.
There was no "Last Stand". For there to be a last stand, there has to be previous stands. Custer broke cardinal rules of warfare- dividing his force in the presence of a numerically superior enemy, or more importantly, in the presence of an enemy whose strength and disposition was unknown. The description of Custer's actions at Gettysburg here is pure bullshit. The Union lines were not threatened by the Confederate cavalry- cavalry in the USCW was NOT a shock weapon. After that gem, I ducked out of this "documentary"
Both the Spanish and English disapprove of expressing sympathy for the Maya and Aztec civilizations as well. This attitude reflects the violence these groups inflicted upon Native Americans, as they massacred millions of them and exhibited no remorse for their actions. It is terrible how the Spanish and English take no responsibility for their crimes against humanity. And unhinged Trump wants Native Americans to pay more taxes and do their part. After the White people stole everything. What would you expect from a country with a Church of England (the Anglican Church) built on the family values of Henry VIII? The indigenous people have contributed a lot to this country... including their own country! And that's also criminally underrated.
Sadly it was introduced old world diseases which wiped out millions of the native Americans. Pizzaros' force when he entered the Inca Empire was 60 horse and a hundred foot. Not a force equipped to massacre millions in a population of 5-10 million. Cortez wouldn't have been able to destroy the Aztec Empire without the support of 10s of thousands of Tlaxcalan warriors who when the Spanish took the great pilgrimage city of Cholula proceeded to butcher the population of the city. Even a psychopath like Cortez was shocked. And of course the Mexica exacted tribute from their vassal states which included human hearts
i feel if hed managed to defeat the tribes on the little big horn he was looking at a run on the white house or some type of senior govt position and the highest one would be what he sought
Greetings from Australia. We had a lot of little Big Horn battles in Australia but the troopers didnt die. It was the other way round. You can't say this though because tomorrow is Australia Day and this never happened. Im so glad those days are gone now....wait what about Israels genocide on Palestinians
This is a very sterile and clean account of George Custer, I will say his life was more chaotic and self indulging and in some way narcissistic, yes he was a military genius and he knew how to sell himself and had a very firm understanding of the power in the media. The attack on Black Kettle's camp was a massacre not a battle, Black kettle and his camp were peaceful even flying the American flag above Black kettle's Teepee. To get himself out of trouble that day Custer put the captive woman and children at the head of his column and marched back to camp. He done this to stop the other tribes from attacking as the Indians held woman in the highest regard believing they were god like as they gave life. Custers tactic worked. We can't judge Custer by todays morale standards what we can do is judge the American Governments policy in dealing with the tribes Custer was just a tool in the box the government used to do their dirty work. Custers last stand was really the Indians last stand it was the battle that gave the government sanction to ethnically cleanse the Indian tribes.
I agree with your final comment. The irony of it all was that the outrage felt by the public gave the Army all the political ammunition it needed to pressure the government into financing a massive “resettlement ’ of the plains Indians. It was, in a very real sense, the Indians last stand.
Same as 262, can't agree that Custer was just a tool. It's like arguing that the South was right to have Blacks as slaves. Britain made slavery illegal decades before and the north had been against it after America became a country. It has to do with morals and even then people felt it was wrong to treat the Indians this way. And the US has mistreated them ever since our country began and there have always been those speaking against the immorality of it.

Totally over emphasizes Custer's importance to the Union victory at Gettysburg. One regiment's charge at what is really a minor action away from the main battle lines in no way helped defeat the Confederate army.
I have something to say! Custer was a shyster and incompetent whose luck ran out! Tee hee. I hope that helps! I think you'll find that the "true American heroes" were the natives. Otherwise you're probably mistaken with Marlboro man ... a figment of a marketeers imagination.
Brilliant portrayal, I was expecting something more jingoistic. He was much worse than just another self-aggrandizing, privileged member of the military elite. He was clearly also an obscenely blood thirsty and maniacal murderer....with the shot to his temple it was clear he committed suicide on the battlefield.
the narrators try to make a virtue of genocide, present opinions as if they were facts, ignore historical facts and all put on by American public broadcasting. They glossed over the Sand Creek Massacre, left out Red Cloud's resistance, Crazy Horse the Fort Laramie Treaty and so much more.(briefly referred to)

WTF have the English got to do with any of this? "Family values of Henry VIII" is a phrase that could only be written by someone with staggering ignorance of what happened in the early sixteenth century in England. The Wars of the Roses, a first civil war (the next one would follow 100 years later) that had torn the country apart and been responsible for untold death and misery, had just finished with Henry VII establishing a new dynasty (the Tudors) in power after the Plantagenets. Henry VIII was his son. But Henry desperately needed an heir. Both he and everyone else in the English upper class were terrified of another war breaking out if there was insufficient clarity as to who would succeed him. After 20 odd years of marriage to Katherine, the upheaval of the declaration of that marriage as being unlawful so that he could marry Anne Boleyn was to beget a son; and the same thing happened with every successive Queen - none of them could give him a son. The Church of England was based closely on the Catholic church, incorporating many of the improvements that had been introduced by the Protestants of northern Europe. If the Pope had given Henry what he needed - His approval for Henry's remarriage in order to get an heir - there would have been no Church of England. But the Pope was a lackey of the Spanish throne and that time, and Henry's first wife was a daughter of the Spanish royal family. Possibly your grasp of American history is somewhat better.
My time to shine. On a serious note though, I think this is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen on Custer. Absolutely fantastic.
