On This Date in Minnesota History: Setember 9

September 9, 1862 - Governor Alexander Ramsey declared “that ‘The Sioux Indians of Minnesota must be exterminated or driven forever beyond the borders of the state.’ The treatment of Dakota people, including the hanging in Mankato and the forced removal of Dakota people from Minnesota, were the first phases of Ramsey's plan.”
