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.

The Reconstruction era was the period after the American Civil War from 1865 to 1877, during which the United States grappled with the challenges of reintegrating into the Union the states that had seceded and determining the legal status of African Americans.
