Abstract
Abstract:
John Pope received command of the Department of the Northwest after his defeat at Second Bull Run. Tapped to combat the Sioux population along the Minnesota-Dakota border, he created new military policies for the US Army in the Dakota Territories. Fighting the Sioux between 1862 and 1865, Pope's policies dealt with both the local issue of white-Indian relations and the national concern of the US Civil War.
