OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
Custer surprises the Indians
Chapter 51
Meanwhile, the Grant administration was trying to figure out what to do about the American Indians,
2Who were still there,
3dAnd had a whole bunch of treaties that said they had a right to be where they were,
4eWhich was starting to put a crimp on Manifest Destiny.
5It was hard to know what to do exactly,
6Especially since the Yank population as a whole was pretty tired of wars,
7And had been so distracted for so long by the Civil War and the negro problem that they had completely forgotten about the Indians,
8And what savages they were,
9And how much of a threat they posed to Manifest Destiny and the American Way and everything,
10Until a former union general named Custer changed everything,
11Overnight.
