How many Ozark counties in Missouri and Akansas were either pro union or nuetral? The fewer slaves in an area seemed to lead to luke warm enthusiasm for the confederacy.

West Virgiania broke from Virginia. Likewise, there were pro union counties aand pro union guerillas in the Appalachians of TN, GA and NC.

Murdering feds, every state is still under occupation of yankee aggression. The days are getting close, it started here and I do not think its finished. These hills will once again shelter the free hearts of the resistance.

These stories were told to me by my grandfather when i was young, one of the only things I can remember about him. he was known to cuss at people with kansas license plates just because they were "damn Jayhawkers" When you look at the guerrillas actions dont look at it from a pro/anti slavery standpoint. the Kansas red legs would routinly come into my native county and murder and burn all they could...What would you do about that? I sympathise with their situation. google general order 11 1863

FACT: These "anti-slavery" Kansas scum who "liberated" Missouri slaves actually hauled them back to Kansas where they transported many to Louisiana where they were sold back into slavery! Such a noble cause these Kansans had! Seems greed is greed whether it's oil, land or slaves.

[robh64]

YOU'RE, if you must be punctual. No doubt Kansas was a abolitionist state, due to massive federal troops suppressing southern sympathies at lecompton, pawnee etc. It doesn't cover all the citizens so its more complicated. Wasn't one of the major guerillas from Kansas?

[robh64]

dont forget diamond springs near council grove and salina. also humboldt was raided but not by quantrill. these raids occurred before or after lawrence? and wee they in retaliation for raids in mo? at least eastern ks is prosperus, the union burned out most of western mo

Please, you Missourians bring it up all the time. I bet you've never heard of Quantrill's raids to Spring Hill and Olathe, Kansas. When his men killed dozens and burned the towns to the ground. Lawrence was far from the only instance of terrorism from Missourians in Kansas.

[14691]

Mind you this was 5 years AFTER Missourians invaded the Kansas Territory. After Missourians illegally voted for Democrats and other pro-slavery members for the Kansas Legilsature, preventing all Kansans and Republicans from voting in their own elections by force. Then in power Missourians established the most restrictive pro-slavery laws in the country.

Any way you want to look at this conflict, who was right, who was wrong, Missourians started it. That is fact.

Ah, so you're saying Black people liked slavery? That explains a lot. You're crazy.
