Lamar · Answer 1

The council house fight resulted in an increased hostility towards whites by the Comanches.

Explanation:

The Comanches were nomads, while the Texans were settlers. When the Texans moved into the Comanches territory, the Comanches were not very happy with it and started raiding and stealing Texans horses, cattle and children.

But later the Comanches wanted peace, so they called for a negotiation talk with the Texans. The Texans demanded the Comanches bring all the white prisoners in good faith.

However, when the Comanches came on the day of the council house of fight, they came with only one prisoner, This angered the Texans and it lead to a fight between the two leading to a massacre of both the parties.

In the end only on one Comanche chief along with some women and children survived. So this lead to further animosity between the Comanches and the Texans.
