Talk:Battle of Sugar Point

Untitled
" Often referred to as "the last Indian Uprising in the United States", the engagement is also the first battle to be fought in the Northwest United States since the Winnebago War in 1827."

The latter part is certainly incorrect. Little Crow's War and the Black Hawk War were both fought in this area.70.233.143.30 (talk) 18:12, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and changed the reference so that it refers to the Black Hawk War. I don't believe that any battles of the Dakota Uprising of 1862 (Little Crow's War) were fought in the part of Minnesota that belonged to the Northwest Territory (i.e. east of the Mississippi River).  If I am wrong, however, I hope someone will further correct the article.  Jrt989 (talk) 15:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Casualty figures way off
All reports alternative to the one provided do not list 278 killed in the battle, much rather most point to around 7 killed. This should be researched further and corrected https://www.minnesotagoodage.com/voices/mn-history/2017/09/the-battle-of-sugar-point/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.91.13.135 (talk) 22:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
