US-Dakota War of 1862
"The Dakota War of 1862 was a brief conflict between the Dakota people of Minnesota and settlers. Lasting only five weeks, the conflict had a profound impact on not only the Dakota, but Native Americans across the state. The conflict can be viewed as one of the genocidal efforts to forcibly remove the Dakota from Minnesota, which also included the internment of hundreds of women, children, and elderly on Pike Island below Fort Snelling.
Viewed in a larger historical context, the Dakota War was part of a series of conflicts that have been called the American Indian Wars. These caused, together with starvation and disease, a massive decimation of the Indian population across the United States. Following these repeated attempts to destroy Native American populations, the United States government embarked on a policy of assimilation towards indigenous people into Euro-American society. These policies would remain in effect until well into the second half of the twentieth century. "
get ruffled by any nation or persons pointing finger at other nations and peoples doing the same thing to others they complain about having been done to them. It’s all BS hypocrisy. The nations shall be judged including Israel. After subjugating the Confederacy, the Yankee imperialists proceeded to slaughter the Plains Indians. And nearly extincted their Buffalo food source. Genocidal starvation. The one achievement that stands as a lone ship in the storm is our Constitution. That is our rock. The rest is a disgrace on a thousand levels imo.
