Blood less? No one was killed in the initial bombardment but it lead to the worst slaughter in US history. And no Lincoln didn’t swipe anything from a ‘’’dirty playbook’’. he sent a merchant ship to resupply a federal installation. And Bleeding Kanasas is a 180?

Like hell it is, your Border Ruffians did a great job on Lawrence, didn’t they?

And to be fair John Browns retaliation for that was no better.

I’ve been round and round with you Rebs and your versions of “The War Of Northern Aggression’’ a zillion times and try as you guys might you can’t change the fact the Confederacy fought to preserve slavery.

Nothing will change that. Certainly not your revisionist “Lost Cause’’ history.

This is exactly the sort of jaundiced view that I'm talking about. Lawrence was retaliation for a prior attack on Osceola. Unlike Osceola, Lawrence was a garrison town and a legitimate military target. The folks from the Osceola surrounds were righteous in their vengeance.
