I happen to be the great-great grandson of Robert Hall Pearson, who along with John Brown and his sons, and a few others met Col. Henry? Pates squad, 15 miles south of Lawrence, KS in The Battle of Blackjack, on June 2, 1856. It could be argued that it was the first Battle of the Civil War. I used to live near Signal Oak, which was a large tree on a tall hill near Baldwin, KS, which was used to hang lanterns on to warn Lawrence of the coming of Quantrill and his raiders. tad of Bleeding Kansas.
@painxtreme I also have his Colt Navy and Cavalry Sabre, The tip of the sabre is broken off, and there are 6 notches in the Colt barrel. Museums want them all the time, but it is not leaving its secure location.It is Family history, and Kansas history. We display them on occasions, I'm not for keeping them from public view, but they will remain in the Family. It may be a difficult subject to track down, Message me, if you'd like literature on it, or further information that I have.
@painxtreme Wow, yes you do need to message me, just repeating Bleeding Kansas over and over without fleshing anything out isn't informative. You sound like someone in the living room telling stories, rather than being educational. You drift off topic, talking about weapons books, and lose your place, yadda, yadda. Its not a discussion of bleeding Kansas, when you get to it, you merely recommend books about it. Understand this is critique, not a jab, but it needs lots of polish.
@painxtreme Last thing, on the point of weapons and tactics. Throughout history The weaponry has almost always been more advanced than the tactics of the time, which truly ratchets up casualties.
Dang you tube tell's me error when i hit the post button so i hit it a few more times all saying error then it post's them all so i have to remove them and end up removing one's i didnt mean to.
@DrRamer2 I'd have to disagree....but I'll save it for video...I disagree with the fight being over taxes and the fort sumter...but thank you for the first comment. Though I will say you are more level headed then some jerks that comment on my videos.
@DrRamer2 You forget that the South did in fact have representatives in Congress, therefore they were taxed with representation just like the North was, also the South was not "pro-states rights" as they limited the Northern States rights with unfair legislation such as the fugitive slave act, and several pro-southern supreme court rulings like the Dred Scott Case, they had bullied the North into unfair compromises for nearly 30 years with the threat of secession if slavery was not expanded.
@Lambchop08 You forget that the 7 States that formed the Confederacy all seceded before the passing of the Morrill Tariff so they did NOT have representation but were still expected to pay the Tariff. The Fugitive Slave Acts were just strengthening The Fugitive Slave Clause in the Constitution. Dred Scott well that’s what we get for making the Supreme Court the Final Arbiter's of all thing's Constitutional. The North threatened Secession to get what they wanted long before the South did.
Glad you’re not a Nationalist anymore. I like the idea of the cast and it seems you’re not too biased so I hope this goes well for you. I agree with you about the War and bleeding Kansas but I think the war was fought over taxes. Most of the money for the Federal Government at that time came from tariffs. The Morrill Tariff was a high tariff past after South Carolina Seceded. Fort Sumter and other forts stayed under Union control to collect tariffs.

I think I can confidently say the “Civil War” started over taxation without representation.

@DrRamer2 "I think I can confidently say the “Civil War” started over taxation without representation."
Wait. What? You mean the American Revolution? You don't think the south had representation in the years leading up to the civil war?
