18 авг 1862 г. - Dakota War Begins

Описание:

The annuity payments are late again, and the Dakota are starving. The day before some Dakota kill five white men and the Dakota leaders are getting angry but most don’t want to fight. Eventually some (but not all,) agree to fight. On the 18th of August they attack the lower Sioux agency and kill traders and government employees. They also attack settlements along the Minnesota river valley killing hundreds of white people in the first few days.
