Reason Behind The War

Treaties that were made between the US government and the tribes of Dakota from 1805 to 1858 decreased the Dakota lands and which resulted in destroying the lives of Dakota tribe. All these treaties and betrayal from the US government significantly affected the relations between both the parties. During this period between 1805 and 1858, there were continuous treaty violations and unfair payments of their lands made their lives living hell. And because of these factors, the uprising broke out in 1862. But there was this one man who took initiative and strengthened the tribe.
