East of Yellowstone is the famous American Battlefield monument at the Little Big Horn River.    If you think about it, the best American General at the Little Big Horn was not George Custer, it was Crazy Horse, he won.   (and yes I know that after the civil war custer was back to Colonel.    But I  use the term in the sense that these men were the leaders on the field for their sides.

Crazy Horse led a great victory for his side that day....but your post is extremely lacking in proper, historical context....IMHO.

The battlefield is absolutely worth visiting, though.  But I would visit it more with the mindset that many Americans died that day, with each side fighting for what they thought was right.  Like Gettysburg, that sight is Holy Ground.

Edit:  BTW - were it not for Custer, the South almost assuredly wins at Gettysburg.  (I'm by no means in love with Custer, but he deserves serious respect.)
