B) He was interested in claiming the Cheyenne and Kiowa land for white settlement.

C) He assumed the American Indians were unwilling to negotiate a peace settlement.

D) He had developed a deep distrust for American Indians during the Civil War.

Answer 1

C

The Indians feared the cavalry so the women and children fled. The Cheyenne then went and looked for their women, couldn’t find them. Hancock got angry and the Indians feared he would attack so they fled too. Hancock thought that they did not want to negotiate which made him angry so he ordered the village burned.

Answer 2

C) He assumed the American Indians were unwilling to negotiate a peace settlement.
