aug 18, 1982 - The U.S. - Dakota war begins.
Description:
In the summer of 1862 the Dakota’s annuity payments were late again. They were low on food supplies, so there were tensions between the Dakota and the U.S. . So then four Dakota men killed 5 settlers. Next the “ Dakota Lodge” convinced the older Dakota leaders to go into war, and they did. So they planned to attack “ Lower Sioux Agency”. This lead to killing hundreds of white settlers over the next few days.
