Sand Creek Massacre
Slaughter of 450 Cheyenne and Arapaho by the 3rd Colorado Volunteers under Col John Chivington, during an unprovoked attack on Cheyenne peace chief Black Kettle's camp at Sand Creek, Colorado, on 29 November 1864. Although Chivington's actions were praised in Denver, the capital of Colorado, when news of the mutilated bodies of women and children leaked to the press in the East, the massacre was condemned by the rest of the US nation.
