Summary

Who’s to blame for the Battle of Little Bighorn?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with comedian and television host Adam Conover about the Battle of Little Bighorn and why this battle was even necessary in the first place. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Was this the result of Manifest Destiny? Was the term even used at the time? Or was it Colonel Custer with the 7th Cavalry on the Little Bighorn River? Tune in and meet the newest member of The Alarmist Jail!
