In the Dakota War of 1862, also known as the Sioux Uprising, groups of Dakota were angry with the US government over broken land treaties and late annuity payments. Times were tough, too, and Dakota families were starving. A lithograph from 1883 depicting the execution of the 38 Dakota Indians at Mankato, Minnesota, December 26, 1862.Dakota natives went to war against white settlers in Minnesota, which had just become a state four years prior.
More than 500 white people and 60 natives died in the fighting, the Wisconsin Historical Society reports. The uprising ended on December 26, when 38 Dakota natives were hanged in Mankato, Minnesota, in a mass execution. The remaining natives were forced to leave Minnesota -- at first being held at a camp and then being sent out of the state.Read MoreOriginally, more than 300 men were sentenced to hanging by then Minnesota Gov. Alexander Ramsey.
150 years ago? Please, tell me. Who should I wrote the check out to for my personal atrocities.
So sad
mahe_patrick Quand Abraham Lincoln ordonna de faire exécuter 38 Indiens en 1862
They are one of the best Art peaces, from dressing to personality. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L people.
Abe Lincoln hung 38 native Americans in public while president. Abe was a two faced low level SOB.
They won’t forget this.
No one is speaking for or from the Indians side what has afflicted them why more than 25 millions of them were genocide, their homes robbed & now they are being called indigenous & minorities while they are the true owners of the land which is invaded & taken by force speak Truth
That is aweful and evil .
Are you kidding?largest?just dozens?Why millions dead?
StevijoPayne Thanks for the reminder. NPR ran a very insightful piece about this particular execution. Might have been the Minnesota affiliate, I was driving and listening.
That wasn’t the largest but then again history is told through the eyes of the white man, look up Little Big Horn, Trail of Tears or years during Geronimo. A lot of ignorant comments on here. So sad.
Can you hold president Donald Trump responsible for this. Well I'm sure you can try...
And some in this infantry unit got medals of honor. Now how about that? Used four gatling guns on women and children too I understand from reading history.
You're just being clever. Dozens or hundreds of thousands
mdkissinger Sad
Genocide
Reminded me of when Obama deported more Hispanics than the last 5 President's combined , completely racist !
Shame on SenWarren for mocking the American Indian!
Republican President Enough Said.
Maybe you could do a story on the *current crises* plaguing the indigenous peoples. There are thousands of missing indigenous women and girls from tribes throughout the United States and Canada. If it were pretty little white girls we would see it non stop on your news programs.
This is exactly why we have the Second amendment.. The founding fathers knew what happens when evil men/women along with there media lackeys like CNN will do to an unarmed population..
This, this comment thread right here is why they need to turn off the internet
I guess they shouldn’t have killed 500 settlers.
A sad day to remember in order to not be forgotten.
There is an old saying! If god wanted the native Americans to have this land! He would not have put the white man on the planet to take it away from them
I think your mean 'murdered by illegal immigrants'.
Well, may the same procedure continue elsewhere particularly in land of oil. God bless the oil money!
Two weeks ago over 63 million american votes were rendered invalid by the Democrstic party, the party of slavery!
Didn' they kill hundreds of innocent people?
Wow so many heartless people!!!! The natives might have killed and slaughtered but white men invaded their land and homes!!! Times were very different back then and should never be forgotten. If people can't learn from the past we are so screwed for our future!!!
How many Americans know this? Now would be the time to cite some polls or research on the level of awareness on matters like this
And our govt hasnt learned a fn thing since
Do not judge the past on today's standards and punish those that were not present.
F'd up
“On this week”?
Republicans will make excuses that this happened a long time ago and the Natives are doing fine. Slavery and the innocent slaughter of American Indians is deeply woven in America roots. From the Trail of tears to the Atlantic slave trade America that is your history. White man.
Nothing to do with the Dakota people breaking their peace treaty and killing 500 white settlers.
That’s how animals conquer and annex: kill the males. Note: it’s STILL happening, one person of color and one poor person at a time. SHAME on American list for power & control.😓🇺🇸
Il dovere della memoria.
Mass execution as a result of a massive fight that happened between natives and settlers... what do people expect to happen?
Good they were convicted of war crimes involved in killing over 500 people mostly women and children.
While you point your fingers, always remember this...
Ethnic cleansing!, isn't it?!!!!!
wow!
Federal Government... and federal government taking land and building pipelines... evil 👿
People died in war shocking CNN. Why don't you actually promote articles showing their poverty or low employment rates on their government-funded lands they cried for, for so many years. Or how many of them are on government assistant programs that they don't pay into
I’m sorry for this killing to Natives of the Dakota war in 1862 , you remember this natives God Bless you Everyone .”
DID YOU GUYS EVER HEAR ABOUT 'LITTLE BIG HORN'?
Why didn’t you include the fact it was Lincoln who ordered this?
Mankato Minnesota is one of the best places on earth to grow up!! I lived there for 18 years and a Native American little dude. I had very little trouble growing up there. Good people now!
the number was 38, NOT Dozens, did dozens sound better the 38? FUCK OFF CNN, tell all the story's all the deaths over the last 200 years, how many Native American Indians work for CNN? I bet NOT ONE! surely not dozens hahaa CNN Stupid people there,
kwetoday The Colonization of the planet thanks to the Fallen Angels who are now known as the “Cabal”. This planet has been at war with each other ever since.
New insight for us as non-american people
By them Fucking colonizers
GOOD! Now look how great this country is. No way the Natives could have accomplished all we have.
Here we go CNN, as always, creating conflicts, using venomous words, being sensationalist.. and as always, struggling to survive while exceeding at mediocrity.. so typical,mediocrity at its best!
It always makes me want to scream & cry when this topic comes up. Horrific act of inhumanity by other so called humans! I hope they’re rotting in hell. When I learned of this as a child it broke me. I don’t think I was ever the same.
God save America.
Call it for what it is: GENOCIDE!!!
Shame!
The more reasons why US of A is a land of immigrants
Hmmm..let's see if politicians and celebrities go on T.V and ask for restitution for that HATE crime committed against their ancestors over 150 years ago 🤔🙏
kinsellawarren Your sources are terrible kinsellawarren
December 26 to 29 - Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi
Are you saying dozens? Like 24? That’s the largest mass extinction?
I ask the US Government to give back a portion of the Parks and Recreation Land to the Native Tribes of America.
...геноцид-основа политики ...англосаксов...
CNN always has some anti America propaganda to push. Yes war is bad for both sides. Many lives have been saved as this put an end to the violence. Unless cnn can somehow drum up some violence out of it. I look forward to your doors closing cnn.
2020 Democrats: You have nothing to worry about, the government will take care of you with a network of social programs and weapons ban. You'll be healthy, safe and happy. 1862 Native Americans: yeah, about that.
xbioxhazard7131 🥊♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Shocking 😓
And that’s history. You don’t see them protesting today like others.
And everyday the government allows babies to be killed in their mothers womb
The British controlled the 13 colonies, the French controlled the middle of America and Spain controlled west America.. white people didnt do all the slaughtering to the 'natives' like history says!!! Columbus was Italian, he came here because Spain paid him...
THEY HAVE BEEN ILLING EVERY RACE OF HUMANS THROUGHOUT HISTORY EATING THEM AND USING HUMAN PARTS FOR THERE EVIL SICK IN THE HEAD THINGS AS WELL AS BUYING BLOOD AND PLASMA RIGHT IN YOU'LL FACE ALL THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE DAM RIGHT PERIOD
shouldn't the white people be the ones that are mad? the Dakota's were the ones that attacked and killed 500 white people. Only ~60 Dakota's were killed.
Dark stain on our history. Thanks CNN for ripping open a 150 year old wound. We can always count on you to ferment hatred and division
Just like Israhell is doing to Palestinians now.
US killed millions peoples around the world began in native Americans and japanes in 1944 also korean. Vietnames .afganistan and finally thier best friends arabic in iraq yemen syria libya and so on !
America has a lot to atone for!
The government committed much more atrocities than this. Taking their land and killing them one by one
trump supporters once again commenting and showing thier stupidity.
While tragic and perhaps in abundance of bad decisions Let's not forget plenty of blood were in their hands too. To think they were just happy tribes that coexisted until europeans came along is moron fodder.
Mass execution happening even today: with US still doing the same elsewhere! VietnamWar AgfhanWar KurdishGenocide ISIS Taliban Iraq Syria List is long... directly or indirectly! GunLobby killing more people than Islamic terrorism Poor healthcare another one
disgustingUnamerican
Native Americans slaughtered millions of ppl around the world with their tobacco. They should be forced to pay reparations.
This was terrible. What? Even in the era of Abraham Lincoln ? God!
War is violent.
Your own article states that the Native Americans in question started a war and killed numerous white settlers.
Go asked Elizabeth Warren. She in a Indian. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Ummm.... TRUMP IS NOW SO POWERFUL....HE CAN GO BACK IN TIME ...AND CATCH BLAME FOR THIS.
Has anything changed? rhetorical
They named a county after the governor. Stain on Minnesota.
Who was President at the time?
💔
It was a war, not execution. Get your terminology straight.
That was then, this is now. Stop living in the past.
Why were they so stingy with all that land you claim they owned? Someone rose up and made them pay equal taxes on that land. They were land rich, like land barrons
More Gaslighting from CNN! Good job! That’s why your ratings are the lowest! 😂
Bad ideas. Glad it’s over.
On behalf of all Non- Native Americans ,we are so sorry for your losses.
Well you know there are bad things in every history. What about the Japanese execution and torture of Chinese people during WWII, then Hilter’s Holocaust. This is just one of a long line of mistakes that I hope we won’t repeat again.
Bet they wish they had guns.
Yes and your hero Lincoln personally ordered their execution.
Crazy....don’t care. Why not report about the US drone strikes overseas
America's multiple Holocaust era.....
You may not be aware that a Republican Senator John McCain snuck in a provision to take away an Arizona Apache Holy site and allow open pit mining. There will be blood here too.
The book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee should be mandatory reading in schools.
Ha, could you call it an 'invasion' of white immigrants taking what wasn't theirs?
Real Americans.
As long as mass killing people and egregious human rights violations are done in the name of democracy, freedom, national security and liberation, USA government is okay with it.
If there isn't one already, there should be a monument to the dead, so that our children can learn from this craziness...
Sad but true
“White nationalist cavalry officers obviously emboldened by future Trump administration policies.” - CNN
It was bad let's wellcome good 😭😭😍😍😍
But only the government should have guns.
If CNN was in charge of war fighting, we would pre-surrender to everyone in the World. Indigenous people were not Citizens in 1862, they were foreign enemy residing within the USA. They revolted and received what was due.
On this week dozens? Are you forgetting Wounded Knee? Where hundreds of women and children were killed when the 7th Calvary tried to disarm the Sioux....HUNDREDS BITCHES!
😭😭😭😭😭
So Americans are descendants of land robbers, that explains why US supports Israeli robbery of Palestinian lands 😂
Sad thing is there a some ignorant poor excuses for human beings who would try to argue if this even happened.
This was so wrong.
CNN Boardroom: “ Okay women and gentlemen how can we spin this to blame Trump?!?!”
😥😡
🥀🥀🥀
So? Reparations? Or just blame Trumps refusal to apologize quickly enough?
How awful.
CNN is fake news
Was Elizabeth Warrens dad there?
I’m embarrassed by our countries passed behavior.
She said this mouth. What sin?
American history.
It was dog eat dog world in those times
Rest in peace.
And to this day, the natives get zero respect Example - climate change
As a Black Man in America I wanna say to all my Native Brothers and sisters I share your pain.
Dont forget to mention all of the settlers they killed before this ever happened.
And just the other day Donald tweeted...
Wtf?
FakeNews
😡😥😭
