The Dakota 38 [+ 2], Mankato, Friday, December 26, 1862 [Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul, MN]

«On November 8, after completing harried trials of Dakota prisoners taken after their surrender at Camp Release, Henry Sibley presented the list of 303 condemned Dakota men to the US government.
Two days later, President Lincoln wired Gen. John Pope, Sibley’s superior: "Please forward, as soon as possible, the full and complete record of these convictions."
Lincoln and his lawyers then reviewed the trial transcripts of all 303 men. "Anxious to not act with so much clemency as to encourage another outbreak on one hand," Lincoln explained to the US Senate, "nor with so much severity as to be real cruelty on the other, I ordered a careful examination of the records of the trials to be made, in view of first ordering the execution of such as had been proved guilty of violating females." When only two men were found guilty of rape, Lincoln expanded the criteria to include those who had participated in "massacres" of civilians rather than "battles." He then made his final decision, and forwarded a list of 39 names to Sibley.
Ordered that of the Indians and Half-breeds sentenced to be hanged by the military commission, composed of Colonel Crooks, Lt. Colonel Marshall, Captain Grant, Captain Bailey, and Lieutenant Olin, and lately sitting in Minnesota, you cause to be executed on Friday the nineteenth day of December, instant, the following names, to wit [39 names listed by case number of record: cases 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 19, 22, 24, 35, 67, 68, 69, 70, 96, 115, 121, 138, 155, 170, 175, 178, 210, 225, 254, 264, 279, 318, 327, 333, 342, 359, 373, 377, 382, 383]. The other condemned prisoners you will hold subject to further orders, taking care that they neither escape, nor are subjected to any unlawful violence. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States».

A Contemporary Perspective on the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862
This blog previously explored various aspects of the 1862 U.S.-Dakota War that was fought in the State of Minnesota.[1]
Sarah Wakefield’s Contemporaneous Discussion of the War[2]
A contemporary perspective on that war was offered 160 years ago by Sarah Wakefield, a 32-year old white wife of a medical doctor assigned to the Upper Sioux Agency at the time of the war and who along with her four-year…

In the days after O’Shae Sibley, a Black gay man, was killed during an altercation outside a gas station in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn, the picture that emerged suggested an explosive combination of homophobia, religious intolerance and racism.
A witness said a group of men that included the teenager charged in the killing used homophobic slurs and told Mr. Sibley that they were Muslim, and he should stop dancing. Some initial media reports picked up that account. Mayor Eric Adams and the police held a news conference at which the mayor stressed that the killing was not evidence of Muslim hatred of gay people.
Now, it appears the man charged with Mr. Sibley’s murder is not Muslim at all. The suspect, Dmitry Popov, 17, is Christian, his lawyer said, altering at least one aspect of a killing that has drawn national attention.
Mr. Sibley’s death had raised concerns about how the charged accusations could hurt relations between two marginalized communities, gay people and Muslims. In fact, the two groups stood together.
At the news conference on Saturday, Mr. Adams, joined by leaders from the city’s gay and Muslim communities, said that both L.G.B.T.Q. people and Muslims have been victims of hate, and the two communities “stand united against fighting any form of hate in this city.”
Mr. Sibley, a dancer and choreographer, was returning from New Jersey to his home in Brooklyn on the evening of Saturday, July 29, when he and his four friends stopped at the gas station, the police said. As the men filled up their car, they played music by Beyoncé and danced, and a group of men approached and told them to stop.

The men yelled homophobic slurs and anti-Black statements at Mr. Sibley and his friends, according to Joseph Kenny, an assistant chief at the Police Department’s detective bureau, at a news conference on Saturday.
Summy Ullah, a 32-year-old gas station attendant who witnessed the encounter, said one of the young men said, “I’m Muslim. I don’t want this here.”
Within minutes, the heated verbal altercation had turned violent, according to the police. Mr. Sibley was stabbed once in the chest, Mr. Kenny said. He was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Mr. Popov, 17, a high school student from Brooklyn, turned himself in last Friday and was charged with second-degree murder, second-degree murder as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon. He was denied bail in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn on Monday and is being held in detention.
Court documents said that a witness heard the group with Mr. Popov say, “Stop dancing here, we are Muslim.”
But at the court hearing and in an interview on Tuesday, Mr. Popov’s lawyer, Mark Henry Pollard, pushed back against some of the initial narrative: Mr. Popov is not Muslim, Mr. Pollard said.
“He’s Christian,” he said in a phone interview. “Somehow they got it confused, he’s not a Muslim. I could understand if there were other friends that were, but he was the only person arrested.”
Right after Mr. Sibley was stabbed, Mr. Ullah tried to chase down the attacker.
“I’m Muslim myself,” said Mr. Ullah, who immigrated from Pakistan. “When I saw them dancing, I was laughing too, but I wasn’t making fun of them. Everyone has their own perspective, gay, transgender. We have gay people in our countries as well. You don’t make fun of them. They don’t say anything to you. They aren’t making fun of you.”
Sayeda Haider, 23, arrived at the gas station shortly after the stabbing and found Mr. Sibley’s friends weeping. She comforted them and told them she hoped their friend’s killer would be caught.
Days later, Ms. Haider, who is Muslim, said she had reflected on the possibility that someone used her religion to justify an act of violence.
“It can’t be because of religion, because we dance,” she said. “We are strict, but we’ll dance at parties.”
In Islam, as in many religions, there are extremists who reject L.G.B.T.Q. people, she said, but she said that she had been raised to let people live their lives as they choose.
“We also came here because of freedom, because of the rights, so let other people have their rights too,” she said.
Soniya Ali, executive director of the Muslim Community Center, who also spoke at the news conference on Saturday, said it was not a “surprise or a shock” that the narrative that the person who killed Mr. Sibley was Muslim spread in the news media. Ms. Ali said she had neither experienced or witnessed any backlash from the gay community since Mr. Sibley’s killing.
She said she spoke on Saturday to show support for the L.G.B.T.Q. community in New York City, who she said were the first ones to reach out after former President Donald J. Trump instituted a travel ban soon after taking office barring visitors from six predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
What’s important now, she said, is making sure that the focus remains on the tragedy of Mr. Sibley’s “senseless murder.”
“He was murdered. It was a hate crime,” she said. “That’s the gist of it.”
For Beckenbaur Hamilton, 51, a neighbor and friend of Mr. Sibley, the attacker’s religion is not important.
“That part isn’t even relevant,” said Mr. Hamilton, who is gay. “It doesn’t matter if he is Christian, Muslim, Jewish. If a person takes a person’s life he should be held accountable.”
O’Shae Sibley's killer may have lied about his religion during the attacks as a way to incite division.

Also confirmed by his grandma and mother prior, but since this is a lawyer during a court hearing I think is much more safe to think.
It's very scary how manipulative this creature was, not only killing a person because he was just dancing and enjoying life more than this parasite probably had going to church and slaving away at two jobs during his useless life time(based on claim by the mother and grandma) but trying to use his death as a political wedge to attack other minorities to paint them all as just as extremist for brianwashed as him for another week of digital religious crusades.
I hope this gets stuck into people's heads that fascist terrorists do in fact lie about their identities and exploit it explicitly to innocentize and sanitize the far right and to muddy it's regressive genocidalist history so today's lobotomized right wingers can come on the internet and act like they have nothing to be held accountable for while demanding mea culpa from any leftist individual their encounter.
Fascists did it during WW2 and they will keep doing it as long as the media and public allow themselves to be manipulated by it.

The Battle of Glorieta Pass was a significant engagement that took place from March 26 to 28, 1862, during the American Civil War in the New Mexico Territory. The battle was fought between Confederate forces under the command of General Henry Hopkins Sibley and Union forces commanded by Colonel Edward Canby. Sibley led his troops into New Mexico with the intention of capturing the Union's supply depot at Fort Union and then moving on to the Colorado gold mines. However, the Union forces had been alerted to the Confederate threat and had sent forces to block their advance. The battle began on March 26 when Union forces attacked the Confederate camp at Pigeon's Ranch, about 20 miles east of Santa Fe. After a day of fighting, the Confederates were able to repel the Union attack and push them back. The next day, the Confederates continued their advance toward the Union supply depot at Glorieta Pass. However, the Union forces had removed or destroyed most of the supplies, leaving only a few wagons with mules, and they had also set fire to the area. When the Confederates reached the pass, they found that they were unable to resupply and were low on provisions, so they decided to retreat. As the Confederates were retreating, Union forces launched a surprise attack on their supply wagons, destroying most of their supplies, including food, ammunition, and medical equipment. This forced the Confederates to abandon their campaign and retreat to Texas. The Battle of Glorieta Pass was a significant victory for the Union forces, as it effectively ended the Confederate threat to the New Mexico Territory and prevented them from gaining access to the Colorado gold mines. It also marked the high point of Confederate expansion in the western theater of the Civil War.

Happy birthday to Midge Gerlach, known to Betsy-Tacy fans as Tib Muller!
Henry and Minnie Gerlach nicknamed Marjorie “Midge” because she was small, wiry, and agile. She had blonde curly hair. She was Thelma “Tib” Muller in the books. Her little brothers were Freddie and Hobbie were in the book but sister Dorothy was not. Midge’s dad was an architect and her mother was a seamstress. She made most of their clothing. Her dad designed many Mankato buildings. Her ashes were scattered at the foot of an old oak tree in Sibley Park.
