Uhh, the mean slave owning race hating bigots DID kill a lot of people in Lawrence.
164 civilians, versus 9 in Osceola.
Recollections of old-timers are notoriously inaccurate. It is human nature to over time gradually remember things in a way that makes you look better and your enemies look worse. Which is why good historians lean more to contemporary documents. I am no doubt as guilty of this as anyone else.
I don’t doubt that you and your children sincerely believe what you do. I just doubt that it’s really what happened.
BTW, I’m the product of a mixed marriage.
Mom was from MO and Dad from KS. :)
Osceola was only ONE of many.
The Old timers around here sent my wife and children to many books a large number that are out of print.
Lincoln ordered telegraph wires cut, news paper offices burnt down, and yes even towns and districts to be burnt.
I highly recommend the book “The Real Lincoln”
“Mom was from MO and Dad from KS.”
Are we brothers?
Can we agree that the Fed Gov has to much power?
