Today, in 1872, the last Indian war east of the Mississippi ended with the capture of Black Hawk. Strangely enough, the German language Wikipedia reports it as Black Hawk ending the war by giving up while the English language Wiki reports it as Black Hawk being captured.
Take it as you like. The last war ended!

Typical UK/US Hubris, an enemy surrendering is not as triumphant as giving Johnny foreigner "a damn good thrashing"

I read the account of this event first in German, then looked for it in English. I realized that my own preference and prejudice play a big part in understanding, which leads me to the very uncomfortable realization that I cannot trust any account I did not witness personally.
It may be due to a misunderstanding due to differences in translation.
