The Battle of Blackjack was fought in Kansas in 1856 between northern abolitionists and southern border ruffians (ie. Missourians) five years before the Battle of Fort Sumter.
Many credible and respected historians credit the Battle of Blackjack (not the Battle of Fort Sumter) as the first battle of the American Civil War, or rather, the first battle in the War of Northern Aggression.
You can go ahead and thank Missouri for lighting the powder keg against the northern marauders. You can thank us for setting the stage for secession.
You're welcome.
NOTE: Mark Twain once upon a time famously remarked, "The Missouri black flagging ruffians never formally surrendered unlike the Confederates. In Missouri, surrender occurred when a native son was decapitated by the sword or axe. Only then could a Missourian be considered 'surrendered'."

Sorry brah, no body cares what happened between Mizzou and Kansas before, during, or after the Civil War.

Historians care enough to designate the Battle of Blackjack the first battle of the Cival War.
That's pretty significant.

Why don't you worry about Clowney's arse obliterating another one of your QB's instead of posting this worthless shite on a Friday....

how long must we fight this war? or are you pandering? if pandering, i had no idea most people gave a shite about it nowdays. i guess some southeners are still looking for the relatives of the yankees that stole their great, great, great grandmothers silver but most southeners ancestors didn't even have any fricking silver.

Congrats on the L. I guess historians will always have to credit the Battle of Fort Sumter as the first Southern victory then.

Nothing wrong with a little history lesson on a Friday afternoon. The Mizzu/Kansas border war was brutal, particularly for innocent families. If you read about it, you might find it interesting. Certainly, it was a foreshadowing of bad things to come in the Civil War.

Come on, man...I'm from Missouri. We grow up reading and learning about the Missouri/Kansas border war. We live and breathe it even to this day.
We know the TRUTH about those frickers from Kansas. Not the revised version that the goverment prints in history books to fit an agenda and specific narrative.
