Answer 1

Sample Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

All campaigns were led by Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie. In the campaign of 1871, the U.S. chased a band of Comache led by Quanah Parker. The U.S. lost the campaign. In the campaign of 1872 the U.S. succeeded in defeating two groups of Comanche and Mackenzie’s offensive expeditions stopped many Comanche raids in the area. In the campaign of 1873, Mackenzie moved his troops to Fort Clark along the Mexican border. He attacked Apache and Kickapoo tribes and ended the threat of Native American raids along the Rio Grande. In the Red River Campaign, General Sherman joined Colonel Mackenzie to force out the few remaining Native Americans, attacking from five different angles and forcing the tribes to hide out in a canyon. Once in the canyon, calvary troops killed horses and destroyed supplies, forcing the Native Americans hiding there to surrender or flee.
