December 1862 CE

Most of the convicted Santee have their sentences commuted after President Lincoln reviews the trial records and distinguishes between those who had engaged in warfare against the United States and those who had committed the crimes of rape or murder of civilians, but thirty-eight are hanged on December 26, 1862, in the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

Meanwhile, a large military operation is begun by Sibley in cooperation with Brigadier General Alfred Sully.
