It was not a battle but a massacre carried out by the 7th cavalry regiment that killed many Indians (a story we all already know) in North Carolina.

The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred on December 29, 1890, when U.S. troops killed approximately 150 to 300 Lakota Sioux near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. This event was a tragic culmination of the Indian Wars and stemmed from tensions related to the Ghost Dance movement. It remains a significant moment in the history of U.S. relations with Native Americans.
