Battle of Bad Axe

Still continuing on with their will to live on, the fleeing Anishinabek were caught by American Soldiers at Mississippi River just south of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, east of present day Minneapolis-St. Paul. What followed was not good for the fleeing Anishinabe People, who were attempting to avoid what they knew their evil white brethren wanted to do to their race. This group of Anishinabe People was obviously attempting to flee to Minnesota which isn't surprising of course. Anywhere from 150 to 250 Anishinabe People were massacred by the evil Americans at this battle, after they attempted to peacefully negotiate or surrender. They wanted to go to their kinfolk in Minnesota but whites refused. Instead of accepting their peace offers, the evil Americans commenced to wage war on them. Afterwards, the evil Americans eventually had their way and the surviving Anishinabek who lived in southern Wisconsin and Illinois, who were defiant against the American demands to stay rather than leave, finally agreed to stay.

It didn't matter anyway because most of the Anishinabek who participated in that 1832 exodus, reached their destinations. That be Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Kansas region. This August 1-2, 1832 massacre, is historically referred to as the Battle of Bad Axe. In the weeks following this massacre, Dakota Ojibway allies of Americans, brought in 68 Anishinabe scalps to their American ally and 22 captured Anishinabek. Anishinabe ogimak in Minnesota punished Dakotas soon after this tragedy. Dakota and American Soldiers would retaliate in the Fort Snelling massacre. White casualties in this massacre were 5 killed and 19 wounded. Their casulties were obviously higher than 24. Unless, the Ojibway's they attacked were mainly women and children and the elderly. Even in 1832, Ojibway Soldiers could equally fight their white enemies using only bow's and arrow's. American Soldiers may have been armed with revolvers however. An early revolver was possibly in use during Black Hawk's War.
