1 Jan 1866 Jahr - Teton Sioux refuse to grant right-of-passage to miners
Beschreibung:
Teton Sioux in Wyoming refuse to grant right-of-passage to miners traveling to prospect gold in Montana. Negotiations fail, but the US begins constructing forts anyway. The Sioux, under the leadership of Crazy Horse, respond by trapping and killing 80 US soldiers. National goodwill for pacifist Indian policy evaporates.
