Why did the white colonists perish in the North American continent?

/kloc-At the end of 0/9th century, a mysterious ghost dance was popular in North America. It is said that as long as all Indians dance this dance, all white colonists will die.

The prevalence of ghost dance brought great panic to the white colonists. They picked up rifles again, and a cruel massacre was staged in America.

Indians were the earliest owners of the North American continent. In the Stone Age, their ancestors went all the way from Siberia to the east and finally came to the North American continent. Ethnically speaking, Indians are close to Mongolians, so some experts speculate that they are descendants of Shang Dynasty in ancient China, and Indians are also transliteration of "Yin Di An".

Before the arrival of white people, there were about 300 tribes and 2.5 million Indians living on the continent north of Mexico. They make a living by hunting, fishing and planting corn, and live a primitive social life in harmony with nature. However, the arrival of white people brought them great disaster.

At the beginning, Indians gave selfless help to white immigrants and taught them how to survive in a harsh environment. However, when the immigrants gained a firm foothold, they chose to seize the wealth and land of the Indians by hook or by crook, and even waved a butcher knife at their former benefactors.

The slaughter of Indians by whites lasted for more than 300 years, and the colonial government issued a decree to suspend the hairy scalp of Indians. At 1703, a scalp costs 40 pounds. By 1720, the price has soared to 100.

Under the genocide, at the end of19th century, there were only 240,000 Indians. In the process of Indians resisting white advanced weapons with flesh and blood, a mysterious religious dance swept the whole west.

The white colonists called it "ghost dance" contemptuously, but the Indians believed that all white people would die if they danced this dance. The founder of ghost dance is the prophet of Paiute in India. According to legend, when the solar eclipse occurred in June of 1889, he was instructed by God:

"1889 spring, the ancestors of the Indians will be resurrected and live with them, and the bison on which the Indians depend will cover the whole grassland again, and all hateful whites will die. Before this day comes, all Indians will dance until the dawn of the fifth day. "

Indians suffer from hunger, poverty and disease all the year round. The news undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into their miserable life. Indians quickly accepted the prophet's statement that ghost dance spread in the western United States at a crazy speed.

With the prevalence of ghost dance, ghost dance shirts also spread rapidly. Indians think that ghosts dancing in shirts can be bulletproof. This statement has brought great panic to white people in North America. They quickly sent troops to suppress the ghost dance, but the Indians who believed that victory was in sight could not resist it to the death.

The rapid spread of ghost dance benefited from the support of Sioux leaders, India's largest tribe. White people decided to take this opportunity to get rid of sitting bull, so the famous "knee injury war" broke out.

This is not so much a battle as a massacre. In this battle, the lying cow was killed, the ghost dance was suppressed, and the Indians fell into an extreme valley because of their large population, and they could no longer organize strong armed resistance. The Indian War, which lasted for more than 300 years, is over.
