Answer 2

C

The Indians feared the cavalry so the women and children fled. The Cheyenne then went and looked for their women, couldn’t find them. Hancock got angry and the Indians feared he would attack so they fled too. Hancock thought that they did not want to negotiate which made him angry so he ordered the village burned.
