dec 29, 1890 - Wounded Knee Massacre
Description:
The battle between U.S. military troops and Lakota Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, which resulted in the deaths of 300 Sioux men, women, and children. This is significant for being the last major battle of the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. The Wounded Knee Massacre relates to the Battle of Gettysburg. Both battles completely demoralized the defeated group and made it evident how the future would proceed.
