The monument honoring the events that occurred at the Battle of the Little Bighorn differs today from when it was erected in 1881 in that
 
  a. while it was initially named the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, opposition groups were successful in changing the name to Custer Battlefield.
  b. in 1881, it was thought that Indian warriors had slaughtered Custer and his army, and so it was that event that the monument depicted; today archaeology has shown that Custer and his men actually won the battle, and so the monument now depicts that event.
  c. a new memorial now also honors the fallen Cheyenne, Lakota, and Arapaho warriors.
  d. it is a less complex tribute to the less complex nature of the site's history.
  e. it is not erected at the location of Custer's Hill but at the capital of South Dakota, Rapid City.

Question 2

What was archaeological investigation of the battlefield at Little Bighorn able to conclude about the nature of the battle?
 
  a. Virtually no evidence of formal tactics such as skirmish lines, supporting Indian accounts of chaos and hand-to-hand fighting.
  b. Evidence of abundant skirmish lines, supporting settler accounts of Custer and his men fighting in a calm and controlled manner.
  c. Custer's personal movements could be tracked by the presence of brass cartridges, as he had the only weapon on the battlefield that used them; his movements indicate that he maintained control of the battle until his death.
  d. The battle lasted for days, with control of the battle switching frequently from Custer's army to the Indians, and back again before Custer's troops were finally completely subdued.
  e. Army tactics included skirmish lines, supportive of settler accounts that Custer left the battle early.
