Remember, bias means that a subject is being treated in a one-sided manner.

Imagine you are living in 1898, and read the headline about the “Little Big Horn.” How might that headline have influenced your opinion, or view, of the Indian Wars?

Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences.

Answer: The average American would probably be frustrated.

Step-by-step explanation:

After this battle, every form of diplomatic activity with the Indians was over. The United States decided to "make a point" on the Native American question. This is because a significant massacre took place in which civilians were killed in addition to the soldiers. And if General Custer himself could probably have avoided the battle, people and I must have been frustrated by the massacre that happened to their citizens. Newspaper articles just reported in great detail about this event, which certainly caused anger at Americans, but certainly also made them sad about so many casualties.
