On this day 160 years ago, the U.S. carried out the largest mass execution in its history when Abraham Lincoln ordered the killing of 38 Dakota Nation members, weeks after the Dakota had surrendered in the 1862 war. ⁠
⁠
The Dakota war was triggered at a time when the Dakota People were starving to death and under attack from white settlers. After repeated peace treaty violations by the U.S. and its failure to deliver food and supplies to the tribe as compensation for their land, some Dakota began to fiercely rebel. ⁠
⁠
After what many describe as unfair trials, 38 tribe members were hung in front of hundreds of white settlers. Following the execution, Congress passed legislation that prohibited Dakota from living in Minnesota and forced the tribe into exile.
