Custer's Legacy
Lieutenant George Armstrong Custer was defeated and killed at Little Bighorn. At the time, he was viewed as a hero who sacrificed his life for his country. In the 20th Century, Custer and his actions during the Indian Wars came to symbolize the United States Government's mistreatment of Native Americans, even though he had publicly opposed the policies of the Grant Administration towards his adversaries, particularly as concerns the use of reservations.His decision-making during the battle itself has also proved controversial, with some historians concluding that his actions were rash and impulsive, and that he acted in violation of the orders of his superior officer, Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry.
