The same might be said for Sherman who marched to the sea, killing and leaving behind a burned path, Looting and stealing goods from Southerners, and sacking Atlanta.

Is Quantrill any worse than Sherman.

I guess it depends on your point of view.

No, maybe 10, 15 years ago. But TODAY we would be told he has a different reality than we do and we must learn to accept and affirm that reality.

That’s an insult by those that wrote the history(the north)
Lawrence was in retaliation for the burnings of farms and the killing of farmers.
