Which figure famously stated, "I will fight no more forever."?

Frederick Douglass
Chief Joseph
Tecumseh
Perry

The correct answer is: Chief Joseph

The phrase "I will fight no more forever" is attributed to Chief Joseph, the leader of the Nez Perce tribe. This statement reflects his deep sense of sorrow and defeat after a long and difficult campaign against U.S. forces during the Nez Perce War of 1877. Chief Joseph's words convey his desire for peace and his recognition that further fighting would only lead to more suffering for his people. This moment is significant in U.S. history as it highlights the struggles of Native American tribes against expansionist policies and the loss of their lands and way of life. Chief Joseph’s speech serves not only as a tragic farewell to conflict but also as an enduring symbol of resilience and the quest for justice among indigenous peoples.
