The Bad Axe Massacre occurred in August 1832 during the Black Hawk War in Wisconsin. It involved the U.S. military and local militias attacking a group of Sauk and Fox Native Americans led by Chief Black Hawk as they attempted to cross the Mississippi River to safety. The confrontation resulted in the deaths of many Native Americans, including women and children, and is often viewed as a tragic example of the violent conflicts between the U.S. government and indigenous peoples during westward expansion.
