The most accurate outcome of the Sand Creek Massacre is that the U.S. government came to condemn the incident because so many women and children were murdered. The massacre, which occurred on November 29, 1864, involved the brutal killing of mostly Cheyenne and Arapaho people, including many women and children, by U.S. soldiers. This event sparked outrage and criticism from some segments of the American public and led to increased scrutiny of U.S. policies towards Native Americans. It also contributed to a shift in how many Americans viewed the government's treatment of Native peoples. While some individuals and groups began advocating for Native American rights and peaceful coexistence, it did not erase the widespread fear and hostility toward Native Americans, nor did it result in immediate and widespread changes to policies regarding their lands.
