The American Revolution’s Forgotten War Crime - Extra History
Added 2023-04-07 17:30:01 +0000 UTCThe Massacre at Gnadenhutten, Ohio is the lesser-known and brutal slaughter of The Moravian Indians. These Men, women, and children who practiced Christianity and pacifism suffered at the hands of the Pennsylvania militia. Who invaded their village and slaughtered the 28 men, 29 women, and 39 children who remained praying and singing hymns throughout their execution. A moment in history that should not be forgotten.

In a kind of horrible irony, "Gnade" is German for "mercy".
