Description

The execution of the Dakota 38 in December 1862 remains one of the most contested decisions of Abraham Lincoln's presidency. In the aftermath of the U.S.-Dakota War, military tribunals sentenced 303 Dakota men to death. After a comprehensive review of the trial records, Lincoln commuted 264 of those sentences, allowing 38 to proceed-an act that resulted in the largest mass execution in American history.
