Detailed explanation-1: -Indian agents on the Sioux reservation banned the Ghost Dance religion and used the military to enforce the ban. Tensions led to the Wounded Knee Massacre and the loss of hundreds of Sioux, including the elderly, women, and children.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ghost Dance was a spiritual movement that arose among Western American Indians. It began among the Paiute in about 1869 with a series of visions of an elder, Wodziwob. These visions foresaw renewal of the Earth and help for the Paiute peoples as promised by their ancestors.
Detailed explanation-3: -This outbreak culminated in the Massacre at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, where the “ghost shirts” failed to protect the wearers, as promised by Wovoka. As conditions changed, the second Ghost Dance became obsolete, though it continued into the 20th century in attenuated form among a few tribes.
Detailed explanation-4: -It resulted in the Wounded Knee Massacre wherein the 7th Cavalry killed over 250 Lakota, primarily unarmed women, children, and elders, at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890.
