This video details the Lincoln County War in 1878, focusing on the siege and arson of the McSween house. It explains the conflict's origins in corruption involving the Santa Fe Ring and the Murphy-Dolan operation, and the rise of figures like Billy the Kid and Alexander McSween as opposition. The narrative culminates in a five-day siege, the intervention of Lieutenant Colonel Dudley under Posse Comitatus, and the eventual burning of the McSween house, leading to McSween's death and the dispersal of the Regulators.
