You like Don from Erie, PA obviously have no clue or appreciation for history on its terms. As Christ said to Peter - You judge me by Man's Standards not God's. Likewise you set yourself up as judge and in this case as executioner of Custer when you judge him by 20th Century Standards and not the ones the lived with.
The Civil War was a war to preserve the Union - not to free slaves - Proclamation of 1863 was a political move by Lincoln to keep England out of the war - it worked! The Alamo was a battle between landgrubbers from the North versus the wishes of Mexico to maintain its own sovereignty rights - regardless - they lost.
As I told Don - the American Indian that we have come to know and kiss ass to is the 3rd wave of "Indians" the latter driving out and killing off the former. We were just one more people to arrive and do basically nothing more or less that what had been done already by the "Noble Savage"
When you pick up a book in the future -try reading it.
