Although he says he went inside, he also said he did not witness the murder, and he also described the scene after the murder wrong saying that Mr. Robinson fell off the chair once he reentered the room. Although this may have been true his story was not ever proven, there were no witnesses.

The Wounded Knee Massacre unquestionably stands as one of the darkest moments in the relationship between Native Americans and the United States government, yet most scholarship on the subject either limits its scope to the individuals directly involved in the affair and the tactics employed or presents the slaughter as a turning point in a longer history of U.S. aggression towards the native people of the Great Plains.

The 2 soldiers named Kilroy and Montgomery were found guilty of killing the civilians. The sentence they should have gotten was the death penalty but they were released.

The people of Boston are sending news of what happened to other colonies to get them to fight against new TEA ACT and to stop having the British government having control over them. There is talk about them doing something called the BOSTON TEA PARTY where they are going to throw the tea overboard into the ocean.
