👉 Crazy Horse was a Native American leader who, upon returning to his country after the Treaty of Ghent in 1792, had an outburst that led to widespread violence against him by the French and Indians. This enraged the French and, as a result, he was exiled from the French colony. He became known for his violent actions and later was killed by his own army. The term "Crazy Horse" refers to a figure who was perceived by many as too insane or mad to be considered a leader of the Native American tribes.
