You want to talk about nasty, google Order No. 11. All the people in 4 counties in Missouri on the border with kansas (with the exception of folks in a few 'larger' towns like KC, Harrisonville, Independence and a few others) were given 15 days to leave. Then they went and burned down almost all their homes and farms.

Harrisonville has a cabin in town that was moved from a remote place in the county, because that cabin was one of the only antebellum buildings outside of the towns to survive that era.

A "jayhawker" is synonymous with a terrorist, yet our fine friends to the west have the blood-soaked thing as their mascot. It would be tantamount to the University of New Jersey having the mascot the fighting Al Queda's - see how the people in NY would take to that.
