Hola Guys and thank you!

The Missouri - Kansas Border wars was fought before and during the Civil War. Here is a bit of more info about it:


"With the Kansas-Nebraska Act that was signed in 1854, the two states were ‘opened’ for white settlement, primarily to allow for the railroad to be expanded all the way to the Rockies. The Act also let the two territories decide for themselves if they would be pro slavery or not. As a result, settlement of the states was spurred, not so much by westward expansion, as by the determination of both pro-slavery and abolitionist factions to achieve a majority population in the territory. Pro-slavery Missourians flooded the state to vote at the first election in November, 1854. Though the pro-slavery tickets had won the earlier elections in 1854 and 1855, the results were not accepted by free-soilers and a rival government was set up at Topeka in October, 1855. Southern sympathizers, not only from Missouri, but from as far away as Alabama, began to form paramilitary bands to destroy the abolitionist power in Kansas. Anti-slavery Jayhawkers clashed with Bushwhackers from neighboring Missouri as the two sides were provoked to bitter and often bloody struggles in the Kansas Territory to sway popular decision to their own favor. Both sides were abetted by desperadoes and opportunists where people were tarred and feathered, kidnapped, and killed. Confrontation and deadly skirmishes over the issue of slavery would continue in the Kansas Territory for the next five years in an era to be forever known as “Bleeding Kansas”."
