But soon the non-payment of annuities brought the Indians to the verge of starvation, and in despair they forced Little Crow to lead them in revolt. In August, 1862, they massacred the agency employees and extended their attack to the white settlers, killing many and destroying a large amount of property, before a part of the tribe fled into Canada and the rest surrendered to General Sibley.
You deprive the Bishops of their right to vote on money bills; very well, that will include all royal grants, whether special or annual, maintenance, annuities, and all that sort of thing.
