How would you feel if your relatives were treated like this by "Christians?" Not just the largest mass hanging in US history, but the cruel, sadistic treatment inflicted on more than 300 imprisoned Dakota men. As well, the raping of Dakota women by jailors and soldiers, with the awareness of the helpless, imprisoned men.

What kind of mothers and fathers did these jailors and mothers have???? How could they call themselves " Christians?"
