    In this segment of the US History EOC Review series, Tom Richey discusses the development of the American West in the years following the American Civil War. Republicans in Congress sought to create a national market in the United States with the transcontinental railroad. Native Americans on the Western frontier were confined to reservations - typically away from their ancestral lands - and launched several wars against tribes who refused to cooperate.
    This lecture addresses USHC 4.1 in the South Carolina curriculum standards for US History and the Constitution.

    Professor Richey, wouldn't you say that Custer should still be considered a historical hero figure because of his Civil War victories and service to his country?

      You either die a Civil War Hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain of "Indian Removal."

    NAILLED IT (almost). The transcontinental railroad route surveyed / sponsored by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis was by far the more effective / economical option. Federal sponsorship of any route was imperative. The friction in Congress over priorities for 'infrastructure-improvements' were very much a factor leading to armed conflict in 1860.

      In the 1870s / 1890s, Santa Fe, New Mexico far exceeded any other U.S. railroad-hub in terms of traffic or economic impact.

      The 'secret-sauce' was the en-route consumers ultimately established throughout the northern routes. The railroads could haul valuable freight BOTH WAYS - MID WAYS - ALWAYS. From 1890 foreword, the railroads gleaned superior profits from the fertile lands and denser populations north of New Mexico. California and New Mexico remain viable (certainly), but the steady money comes from more northerly climes.

      The 'Civil War' was never about slavery. It was about the railroads.

      Were it not for the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and subsequent disingenuous acts sponsored by Congressional representatives from the southeastern United States, 'Manifest Destiny' might have been achieved in a more copacetic manner.

    While you are shifting your paradigms to suit your politics, perhaps you might consider what the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg might have been if Custer's Michigan Cavalry, showing extraordinary bravery and initiative, had not stopped Stuart's Virginia Cavalry from encircling the Union forces and attacking them from the rear just as Pickett was attacking from the front. As it was, Pickett nearly rolled up the Union line by himself, so a case can be made for Custer saving the Union semi-victory at Gettysburg (and after Gettysburg, the Confederacy fought a primarily defensive war). This is not to excuse the several major mistakes Custer later made at the Little Big Horn, just a reminder that history is more nuanced than you seem to want to portray.

    • @tomrichey

      +Ed Price I think that's awfully speculative. Gettysburg was lost when the Confederates failed to occupy the high ground on Cemetery Hill and Pickett's Charge was a bad idea - with or without cavalry support. A few Confederates broke through at one point in the line but at great cost and I don't think there's much Stuart could have done. The legend of Custer as a Civil War hero is likely bolstered by his later reputation as an Indian fighter. History has an awful lot of nuance, for sure, but then there's a point where people start grasping at straws. Granted, he may have been a skillful tactician, overall, but that doesn't necessarily make a hero when one's primary legacy is contributing to a genocidal effort.

    • @wb6wsn

      This thread really isn't the place to argue Gettysburg, but at least I have you thinking about it! At Gettysburg, there were maybe a dozen critical decision moments, and any one, decided differently, could have changed the entire effect of those three days. Of course I am being speculative, but not "awfully" so. Regarding Custer's actions, let's just say that very few commanders ever ruined Stuart's day, and prior to 1864, Union cavalry were not feared by Confederate cavalry. Pickett's charge was bad tactics, with insufficient and ineffective artillery support (they expended their cannon ammunition before the start of the charge). And yet, Pickett came very close to slicing through the Union center. Now I'm not sure that Custer learned anything good from his Civil War engagements (he was already recklessly brave), but Custer was among the officers who accepted Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, so Grant must have judged Custer to be effective and valuable to Grant's final campaign. I can separate Custer's Civil War actions from his Plains Campaign actions, both tactically and morally.
