For about 50 years, there was relative peace in the U.S. and the Nez Percé. There were outbreaks of violence, like the Whitman Massacre, but not the continual warfare that existed between the U.S. army and other tribes. Tensions rose dramatically in the 1850s and 1860s when the U.S. proposed treaties that were designed to take nearly all Nez Percé land. By 1863, five bands of the Nez Percé were rebelling against the treaties and set the stage for the Nez Percé War.   Black Barrel+ for ad-free episodes and bingeable seasons: blackbarrel.ingcast.fm/   Apple s Black Barrel+ for ad-free episodes, bingeable seasons and bonus episodes.
