Title: Dakota War of 1862, Siege of New Ulm

Caption: Siege of New Ulm, Minnesota, August 19, 1862. The Dakota War of 1862 was an armed conflict between the US and several bands of Dakota. Throughout the late 1850s treaty violations by the US and late or unfair annuity payments by Indian agents caused hunger and hardship among the Dakota. During the war, the Dakota made extensive attacks on settlers and immigrants. Intense desire for revenge ended with soldiers capturing 1000s of Dakota men and interning their families. A military tribunal quickly tried the men, sentencing 303 to death. President Lincoln commuted the sentence of 264. The hanging of 38 Dakota men was conducted on December 26, 1862. It was the largest mass execution in US history. Painting by Henry August Schwabe, 1902 (cropped and cleaned).
