Viewing "Resolutions of the Minnesota Legislature to Congress Requesting Relief to 'Sufferers' of the Dakota War."


"Resolutions of the Minnesota Legislature to Congress Requesting Relief to 'Sufferers' of the Dakota War."

In early February 1863, the state legislature passed two Memorials to Congress asking that the victims of the Dakota War be considered equivalent to soldier-casualties of the Civil War, thus enabling them to receive pension benefits. In 1876 a similar Resolution was passed and in 1893 the Legislature passed Memorials to Congress asking for relief for four survivors of the War. They are posted here.

These Resolutions are footnotes to the story of the decades long campaign for compensation from the federal government for survivors of the Dakota War.
