Karl Oskar stays by Kristina's bed as she dies, the uprising is put down, and 38 of the Dakota warriors are subject to a mass execution in Mankato. Among the murdered settlers are Uncle Danjel, his eldest son, and his pregnant daughter-in-law. She suffers several miscarriages, and then falls ill just as the Dakota War of 1862, during which the starving Dakota people rose up and killed hundreds of settlers across Minnesota, erupts. Ultimately deciding to disregard the warning and leave her fate in the hands of God, Kristina becomes pregnant again. She gives birth to two more children, Ulrika and Frank, after which a doctor advises her that, after so many pregnancies, her insides are torn up and another pregnancy will kill her. Kristina, who still misses Sweden, is glad that her husband will not be a soldier and become a murderer. In the following years, Karl Oskar becomes an American citizen and tries to volunteer to serve in the Civil War, but he is rejected because he walks with a limp. The mass execution of Sioux warriors after the Dakota War of 1862 is portrayed in the film. Robert is distraught and, having refused to seek medical help for a persistent cough, dies a short time later. Karl Oskar discovers that Robert has been cheated, as the banknotes are worthless. After spending some time on his own in a small town, Robert exchanged the coins for lighter banknotes before heading back to Minnesota. Before succumbing to his illness, the guide gave Robert a sack of coins. The guide caught yellow fever, and Robert nursed him, despite being warned of the risk. Robert was rescued by their Hispanic guide, who brought him to a village in the Sierra Nevada. After slowly working their way west, Robert and Arvid got lost in the desert when looking for a stray donkey, and Arvid died after drinking poisoned water.

He has always felt that Karl Oskar looks down on him, so he says the money is only a small part of what he got for the gold he found, but, via a series of flashbacks, we learn that his adventure was plagued by a series of misfortunes.
After being gone for several years, he returns, alone, to Karl Oskar's farm and gives Karl Oskar and Kristina a big stack of banknotes. Robert takes Arvid to seek their fortune in the California Gold Rush. Pious Lutheran neighbors attempt to persuade Kristina and Karl Oskar to shun her due to this, but they refuse. Ulrika later marries Pastor Jackson, a friendly Baptist minister who lives in a nearby town. Kristina, aided by Ulrika, gives birth to a son, who she names Danjel after her uncle. Kristina, feeling homesick, bursts into tears. At the housewarming party, the assembled Swedish settlers, which include Danjel, Kristina's uncle, and Ulrika, a woman who has become a very close friend to Kristina, discuss whether they regret emigrating. He begins clearing the land of the pine trees, and, with the help of Robert, Arvid, and some of their Swedish neighbors, completes a small farmhouse before winter comes. With the family initially sheltering in a shanty, Karl Oskar puts all of his energy and resources into building a more permanent house. In 1850, Karl Oskar, his wife Kristina, and their three children, along with Karl Oskar's brother Robert and Robert's friend Arvid, have just arrived in what is now known as the Chisago Lakes area in Minnesota after enduring an arduous trip from Sweden. The 1974 American television series The New Land is loosely based on The Emigrants and this film.
Like The Emigrants, The New Land was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This film adapts the latter half of the four novels ( The Settlers (1956) and The Last Letter Home (1959)), which depict the struggles of the immigrants to establish a settlement in the wilderness and adjust to life in America.
It and its 1971 predecessor, The Emigrants ( Utvandrarna), which were produced concurrently, are based on Vilhelm Moberg's The Emigrants, a series of novels about poor Swedes who emigrate from Småland, Sweden, in the mid-19th century and make their home in Minnesota. The New Land ( Swedish: Nybyggarna) is a 1972 Swedish film directed and co-written by Jan Troell and starring Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Eddie Axberg, Allan Edwall, Monica Zetterlund, and Pierre Lindstedt.
