oct 1, 1865 - US formally condemns Sand Creek Massacre

Description:

Sand Creek Massacred incited a national debate about Indian policy. A dual-pronged consensus emerged: nomadic tribes needed to be removed, not concentrated, through the treaty-making
process, and military force would be used
only against those who resisted. US formally condemns Sand Creek Massacre and allocates reservation lands to Arapaho and Cheyenne in the Indian Territory.
