During war the Dakotas made attacks wich resulted in several settlers and immigrant deaths. The US goverment with the desire of revenge, captured hundreds of Dakota men an families, then, with military tribunal quickly tried the men, sentencing 303 to death for their crimes. President Lincoln would later commute the sentence of 264 of them. The mass hanging of 38 Dakota men was in Minnesota; it was the largest mass execution in United States history.
