THE NEZ PERCÉ WAR OF 1877: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the Nez Percé War of 1877? This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) takes on the Nez Percé War of 1877 and decides once and for all who is to blame. She’s joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. With a combination of broken treaties, settler hostility and general disregard for native inhabitants one thing was clear; the US Government would stop at nothing in its pursuit of gold and westward expansion. Up on the board: Manifest Destiny, Private Property and American Exceptionalism. For more information on the Nez Percé Tribe visit their website: https://nezperce.org/ Join our Patreon!
