Answer
A

Explanation

At the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, Lieutenant Colonel George Custer and his troops were defeated by Indigenous warriors, including Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne. Custer's force was overwhelmed, not led by Grant or Lee. Therefore, the correct choice is “Lieutenant Colonel George Custer's troops were overwhelmed by 2,000 Indigenous Plains warriors.”
