There was no such thing as "political correctness" the way modern day racial reactionaries use the term, when refering to the races in that era.

When Indians won it was called a massacre in American press and literature of the time. Fetterman "fight" came into usage only because the double "Fs" roll off the tongue. For years, the Battle of the Little Big Horn was called a "massacre." But "Custer's Last Stand" became the most common term. Actually, you have it turned around.

Why is it that when the Army kill all the Indians in a battle it's called a "massacre", but when the Indians kill all the soldiers it's called a "fight"? Isn't that a double standard?
