#it's literally impossible that he COULD have killed custer anyway because he didn't actually fight at the battle of the greasy grass

the fact that some 19th century americans genuinely believed that sitting bull was fictional never ceases to amaze me

#it was because they believed that no native american could ever kill custer #so they were like. maybe he's not real. maybe he's white. maybe he's a group of people #it's literally impossible that he COULD have killed custer anyway because he didn't actually fight at the battle of the greasy grass #he was in defence helping the women and children escape #just sheridan fixed the blame on him instead of crazy horse or he dog or any of the guys that led the attack #it's just like. hey 19th century white americans. your racism is showing #the people living back east had no idea what was going on huh they just believed whatever the army said huh #(never believe what the army says). #silas speaks to the dead
