Today in Labor History December 26, 1862: The U.S. military hanged 38 Indigenous people in Mankato, Minnesota, for participating in the "Sioux Outbreak," in the nation’s largest single-day public mass execution. They built the gallows in a square shape, with ten nooses per side. They buried the victims in a mass grave along the bank of the Minnesota River. Despite a large guard force posted at the gravesite, doctors stole all the corpses on the first night to use for research. William Worrall Mayo took the body of Maȟpiya Akan Nažiŋ (Stands on Clouds). In the late 20th century, the Mayo Clinic returned his remains to a Dakota tribe and created a scholarship for a Native American student as apology.

The mass execution was punishment for an uprising that had begun in August. The U.S. government had forced the Sioux to give up their land and move onto reservations on a thin strip of land along the Minnesota River. The government also encouraged them to stop hunting and become farmers. However, the winter of 1861 was particularly harsh, causing mass starvation. Competition for resources increased between the Indigenous people, and the white settlers and traders. In August, 1862, a faction led by Chief Little Crow decided to attack the Lower Sioux Agency, and drive the settlers from the Minnesota River Valley. In the following weeks, they escalated their attacks, killings hundreds of settlers. The U.S. military, which was bogged down with the Civil War, was slow to respond. But by late September, they had quashed the uprising. Initially, the U.S. government sentenced 303 Indigenous men to death. President Lincoln reviewed the convictions, offered clemency to 265, and approved the death sentences of 38. Most of the defendants had no lawyers and spoke no English and had no way to defend themselves in court. Some of the trials were as shorts as five minutes each.

The image is a historical black-and-white photograph depicting a group of individuals in a public setting, possibly during a public execution or a ceremonial event. The text at the top of the image reads "MURDERERS OF TURK WAR MINISTER." The scene is outdoors, with trees and a fence visible in the background, suggesting it is taking place in a public space.

In the foreground, there are multiple wooden structures arranged in a row, which appear to be scaffolds or gallows. Several individuals are standing or walking around these structures. They are dressed in traditional attire, with some wearing long robes and others in simpler clothing. The individuals appear to be observing or participating in the event. The ground is bare, and the overall atmosphere suggests a somber and serious occasion. The photograph has a vintage quality, with a caption and a number (2765-9) in the lower right corner, indicating it is a historical image.

Today in Labor History December 11, 1917: Thirteen black soldiers were hanged for alleged participation in the Houston Mutiny. The cause of the mutiny, according to The Crisis Magazine, was the habitual brutality of white police officers toward black residents. The mutiny started on August 23, 1917, when a cop dragged an African American woman from her home and arrested her for drunkenness. A black soldier asked what was going on and was beaten and arrested, too. When Cpl. Charles Baltimore, an MP, found out, he went to the police station to investigate. He was beaten, too, then shot at as they chased him away. Rumors reached the military base that the cops had killed Baltimore and that a white mob was approaching. So, soldiers armed themselves and marched into town. A riot ensued in which 16 whites died, including 5 cops. 4 black soldiers also died. The army held three courts-martial in the wake of the mutiny. They found 110 African American soldiers guilty. 19 were executed in total, 13 on December 11. 63 more received life sentences in federal prison. No white civilians were brought to trial.

Today in Labor History December 2, 1859: The authorities hanged abolitionist John Brown in Charleston, Virginia for his leadership of a plot to incite a slave rebellion. Victor Hugo, who was living in exile on Guernsey, tried to obtain a pardon for him. His open letter was published by the press on both sides of the Atlantic. His plea failed, of course. On the day of his execution, John Brown rode in a furniture wagon, on top of his own coffin, through a crowd of 2,000 soldiers, to the gallows. The soldiers included future Confederate general Stonewall Jackson and John Wilkes Booth. Walt Whitman described the execution in his poem “Year of Meteors.”
