U.S. soldiers executed 38 Dakota by hanging in Mankato, Minnesota on Dec. 26, 1862. It's the largest mass execution in U.S. history. Most historians now believe that many of those executed were innocent of the crimes of which they were accused. (Artist: J. Thullen, 1884. Courtesy of Minnesota Historical Society)
