Many historical events have been twisted and distorted over the years in order to convince white Americans that we’re the most hostile and violent people on the planet.
One such event is the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890.
The supposed perpetrators were the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry, and the supposed victims were a small band of Sioux Indians. The popular mythos is that the 7th Cavalry corralled the Indians near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota and then, without provocation, fired on them with all the might of the US Army’s arsenal, killing 300-400, including women and children who were intentionally targeted.
