Wars Between Indigenous Peoples and US Government — Quiz

Question 6 • US History

What was one cause of the First Dakota War, which occurred in 1862?

Answer
A
The government withheld food and cash supplies from the Dakota.
B
The government tried to acquire the Black Hills for white settlers.
C
The government ordered all Dakota in the region to return to their reservation.
D
The government let the practices of white ranchers disrupt bison hunting.

Explanation

The U.S. government failed to deliver promised food and cash payments to the Dakota, and hunger and hardship contributed to the 1862 uprising. The Black Hills dispute occurred later, and the other choices do not describe the central cause of this conflict.
