Why did the U.S. Army encourage the slaughter of millions of buffalo? The US Army encouraged the slaughter of millions of buffalo because  the army wanted to kill Native Americans and everything that keeps  them alive.

On September 6, 2005, Mark Matthews, the last living Buffalo Soldier, died at the age of 111.
