As Lincoln withdrew forces in the West to protect areas in the East, tensions flared between the Indians and settlers, leading to Sioux Indians killing hundreds of white farmers.
The Sioux Wars were a series of conflicts in the late nineteenth century between the United States and various subgroups of the Sioux people.
The first conflict occurred in 1854 at Fort Laramie in Wyoming, when Sioux warriors killed 31 American soldiers in the Grattan Massacre, and the last occurred in 1890 during the Ghost Dance War.
By the end of the war, 358 settlers, 77 soldiers, and 29 volunteer militiamen had been killed. The exact number of Dakota fatalities is unknown.
