Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Santee Rebellion in 1862 was provoked by the refusal of the region's federal agent to provide food and other aid to the Sioux, who were facing starvation due to crop failures and a lack of hunting opportunities. This led to the raid by the Sioux in which 500 Anglos were killed. The hanging of 38 Sioux men was a result of the rebellion, not the cause. The deportation of the Santee Sioux to the Black Hills in the Dakota territory occurred later as part of the broader Indian Wars. A battle with the Lakota Sioux was not directly related to the Santee Rebellion.
