You should have told the story of when Custer was told to retreat and he refused to punching his commander in the face telling him "I won't accept a cowards death, come on wolverines" and then lead the men to take the hill defying direct orders. But succeeding in taking the hill and winning the battle. He was demoted and pulled from action as punishment. I did a book report on him in school and I called it. "Even god was wondering if he could kill this guy". My teacher gave me a B and said it would have been an A if it wasn't for the title I chose.
@taylorroarkpayton Says:
He was an objectively bad person who was a cog in the American imperial machine.
That machine march is just as strong today if not stronger.
The atrocities that were committed upon the Native Americans were wrong then just as they are wrong now.
If us Americans can take off our colonizer glasses and look past our biases, we can easily see how we were the bad, unscrupulous, evil villains, who were hungry for power and land.

Pointing out that he was last of his graduating class, without acknowledging that 2/3rds of the class didnt graduate at all 🙄
@virgilstarkwell8383 Says:
Custer kept getting razed for being at the very bottom of his West Point class. But who was #1 or #2 ? No one knows or cares.
@KevinRandolph-g6p Says:
Admirable Lakota for not accepting repairations. Your Ancestors knew better and so did you.
@KennethMachnica-vj3hf Says:
Leonidas? I don't think Leonidas attacked villages full of women and children and shot them up. Not a good analogy, when you're talking about a stud. A Spartan Kung. Seriously? 😂
@halibut1249 Says:
the comparison to Leonidas is WHAT?? I couldn't understand the point you were trying to make.
@TheGreatHuckleberry Says:
The native Americans were butchers themselves. They would burn innocent settlers houses to the ground, while getting rid of any boy over the age of 12. They would R the women then get rid of them. If you were a boy under 12, you would be taken into the tribe. There are books you can read written or from the mouth of native Americans that talk about the atrocities that would do on other tribes and settlers. One I heard was this settler woman had a baby so they put a bullet into the baby, when the baby didn't pass away, they tired it to the back of their horse and dragged it until it did pass away. Everyone was monsters back then.
@MatinAmerica Says:
Grant offered an exorbitant amount for the Black Hills. They wanted more.
We did not choose to pay.
People and miners settled there anyways.
The Americans didn’t just “Decide to take the Black Hills instead.”
This is a mischaracterization of the events at the 15 min mark.
@nuancolar7304 Says:
Custer was credited with the cavalry attack at Gettysburg that thwarted Jeb Stuart's force, but it's quite a stretch to say Custer "was responsible for some of the Union's biggest victories." Such a statement is curious because if you consider some of the other battles mentioned that Custer fought in, such as First Bull Run and the Peninsula Campaign, you would know those were Union LOSSES. It's true that Custer was disliked by his men, but his bad reputation also resonated among his peers and fellow officers. Custer was a known womanizer, and even reportedly had affairs with the wives of other officers...even taking up with widows of slain soldiers shortly after their demise.

Custer --> Patton --> Trump
See 10th book of Republic
@scottmoyer4461 Says:
Black Kettle agreed not to attack ,Rape ,Murder ,Disembowel , white settlers, he couldn’t control his warriors,
He met his fate.
Custer was at the Bighorn because the Lakota and Cheyenne were encroaching on Crow Lands, Chief Blackfoot of the Crow nation
Demanded Grant enforce the treaty and remove the Sioux, They sent Custer and the 7th cavalry, The 7th Cavalry had Crow Scouts with them Including Bloody Knife who was killed with Custer.
@michaelosullivan1362 Says:
King leonidas died stopping an invasion of his country, Custer died genociding the Indians
@ChristianMatos-hb5ik Says:
🇺🇸 George Armstrong Custer was a hero.He was brave and courageous to a fault, a devout patriot, and a legendary leader of men. In the end, he attained glory for himself and America; but at the cost of many lives. Including his own.

As an American, Leonidas and any Spartan is way more badass.
@mickwest2650 Says:
IS THIS BLOODY CUSTER NOT DEAD YET ????
@odin1185 Says:
Haha another incrediblly bias account of your version of history. Read custers journals the mans own account much better than this trash.
@CT99234 Says:
Leonidas my ass. The Spartans knew they were going to their death. Custer was a blowhard who was convinced of his victory right till he get a bullet in the head.
@Isthtwill Says:
He was a coward
@joe6796 Says:
George Armstrong Custer
@IHaveNoMouthYetISpeak Says:
Custer fought against Natives who was just protecting their land, he weren't no Leonidas he was a racist bastards that was brain-washed by them damn Brits!
@samizdat113 Says:
@3:23 Yeah, screw them.
@AdrianbCozad Says:
Elders say,the Fetterman Fight lasted about 45+ minutes accordingly:estimate of 7 to 8 hundred warriors each had 30-40 arrows and used 80% to 90% of them during the battle,that's around 20,000 arrows raining down on them,at the Little Bighorn battle there were.ore warriors.

@robertfolkner9253 Says:
Custer during the Civil War held what was called a Brevet Promotion– it was understood to be only a temporary rank and the holder would revert back to his original rank once hostilities had ended.
@1Ashram Says:
I am always disgusted by how the US did and does treat the Native Americans, sadly, a successful Holocaust, as once rich cultures where destroyed forever.
@BobWhittakerITSeeker Says:
I would describe Sitting Bull more likened to Leonidas defending the hot gate against the 7th . Custer's "last stand" would have never happened if he had been a better leader. Custer wasted his command in an ill advised attack with no coordination and Terry's guns still miles away.
@vibrus-u9l Says:
Leonidas🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
@31terikennedy Says:
Like my cousin Vinny said: everything that guy just said is BS.
@31terikennedy Says:
Custer was at the LBH because the Crow's lands were being invaded by the Sioux and Cheyenne. When Indians left the reservation, they did so to follow the warrior way of raiding which led to murder and mayhem.
@31terikennedy Says:
Was Custer supposed to leave the captives on the battlefield? He returned them to the reservations as further incentive for the others to return.
@31terikennedy Says:
It was Custer's troops that captured Lee's supply train, at Appomattox, that forced Lee to surrendered.
@31terikennedy Says:
Custer led an effective rearguard at First Manassas.
@31terikennedy Says:
Saying Custer graduated dead last is disingenuous, half his class resigned to join the South.
@lucassimmons3496 Says:
Unsolved History did a great episode on the Little Bighorn. They pretty much debunked everything we thought about the battle. Far from the cream of the cavalry crop the 7th was in terrible physical condition and poorly equipped for battle.
Furthermore the evidence suggests outside of Lt Calhoun and Captain Keogh, is that there was no last stand on Last Stand Hill. The evidence suggests an attempt at a skirmish line at Calhoun Hill collapsed and Custers men never recovered.
Also there’s strong physical abs eyewitness evidence that Custer himself was killed very early in the battle and his body carried to last stand hill
@modernsophist Says:
Leonidas intentionally went to Thermopylae to stall the Persians; Custer was tricked into pursuing the Sioux with a small force into a trap that left him outnumbered. Both had believed (then hoped) that reinforcements would arrive…which never did.
@jester9217 Says:
Custer was a hard charging cavalry officer. A fact that served him well in the civil war but agaisnt the plains tribe's who would break when weak and attack when strong. Even if he hadnt died in little big horn the plains would have taken him.
@NRH111 Says:
George's brother was a far better soldier and person. A decorated soldier of the Civil War and 2 time MoH winner. He also died with George at little big horn
@neil1390 Says:
Custer was a foolhardy man who thought he was invincible,and seemed fame,well ,he found it
@thunderdeed1 Says:
Richard Mulligan did an incredible portrayal of Custer in Little Big Man. I wonder if he was really was that crazy.
@danielbear9183 Says:
Don Bradman the Australian cricketer would be a great video
@georgekoros6823 Says:
I didn't like how the speaker omitted significant facts, especially about the Washita Battle. For example, he didn't mention how the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers committed numerous murders, rapes, and infanticide against noncombatant families in 4 different state territories. That's why General Sheridan sent out Custer & 7th Calvary to look for the CDS in the 1st place. The CDS atrocities were an epidemic. It had to be stopped---to save human lives. This justified Custer's attack on Black Kettles camp (where the CDS were residing).
Also, Custer had Native American support ...in the Osage Indians who accompanied him on the Washita mission. The Osage had also suffered from DS atrocities....as the pioneer families did. So, the Osage were all too ready to help the 7th Calvary.
Also missing from the video is that the CDS were called "dogs" or " dog soldiers" because "dog" was the lowest insult Indians can give to another Indian....and the CDS were called that because they took brutality to newer levels.
@Money_angel1 Says:
May you make a video about P.G.T Beauregard.
@valmid5069 Says:
At least Custer will be known for his service in the Union Army like the Battle of Gettysburg, having his last photo group taken by Gary Larson, and redeemed himself during the Battle of Smithsonian while being played by Bill Hader

In America he is known as George Armstrong Custer, not George Custer.
