The Bad Axe Massacre
Captions available
The idea
At the Bad Axe Massacre over two hundred Native American men, women and children were killed.
In practice
About seventy White settlers and soldiers dead across the whole conflict.
Where people slip
The ratio is the point. A war of a few weeks produced a massacre, and the anchor names it as one.
