Correct answer: Â D) A massacre of over 300 Sioux, including women and children.
The massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 was a sad, final chapter in the United States long history of wars against Native American peoples on the North American continent. Â The death toll at Wounded Knee is debated by historians, but was at least 150 and many think the total was at least double that amount (so, 300 or more). Â According to the History Channel, nearly half of those killed were women and children. Â The killing was carried out by the 7th Cavalry of the US Army, which lost only 25 men in the encounter.
