The militia involved in the Chivington Massacre were not punished for their actions. In fact, they faced little to no repercussions for their role in the massacre. Despite the public outrage and investigations that followed, no legal actions were taken against them. Many of the soldiers involved were simply reassigned to new posts. This lack of punishment for their atrocities remains a point of great controversy and criticism regarding the Chivington Massacre.
