Battle of Bighorn: Americans Refuse to Accept Defeat

Americans refused to accept their defeat at Little Big Horn. Congress deeded the Black Hills to themselves and offered Sitting Bull and the Sioux land on a reservation. Sitting Bull refused and led his people to Canada, where they would not have to contend with the oppressive U.S. government.
