The US Army defeated them, capturing 304 prisoners, from which President Lincoln selected 39 to be executed. Then he pardoned one old chief and executed the remaining 38, still the largest mass execution in US history.
Which doesn't even begin to compare with what Andrew Jackson did. He was a famous general who fought in multiple indian wars, before forcibly relocating the survivors in the famous Trail of Tears. Then after becoming president, he established a Federal bounty of $8 per Indian scalp.
Most people remember these things because Lincoln founded the GOP and Jackson founded the Democrats. Niether one liked Indians, nor did very many back then, in spite of Hollywood revisionist history.

The over 600 who were killed compares with 615 battlefield deaths of Minnesota Civil War soldiers. Most of the over 600 who were killed in Minnesota were unarmed non-combatants and most were killed within a 6-week period, whereas those in the Civil War were spread out over a 4-year period. There may have been a little over 100 Dakota who were killed, with very few or possibly no women and children. In contrast, over 100 white women and over 70 white children who were 10 or under were killed.
When looking at a daily toll of victims, there were over 200 killed on August 18, 1862 whereas there were about 235 soldiers killed with General George Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876. There were only up to six Dakota who were killed on August 18, 1862 in Minnesota. It was a massacre, with the Dakota targeting men, women and children.

Some people don't know how to lose graciously. Give a handshake when you get fired, and move on. The reaction to this is bizarre:
