Military History
I. Many Army officers participating in the 19th-century objective of subduing the Western
Native American tribes were deeply affected by the complicated ethical issues
surrounding it.
II. These operations raised ethical questions for many Army officers, particularly in light of
the time's prevalent notions of honorable behavior and combat.
III. The ideological context in which many of these officers worked added to the ethical
difficulty. Many of them had fought in the Civil War, which had been fought, at least in
part, on issues of freedom, rights, and human dignity (Cozzens, 2016).
IV. Therefore, the goal to conquer the Western Indians was not just a military operation but
also a moral trial that put the Army officers participating to the test.
