But the violence actually started when a pro slavery guy named Franklin Coleman shot a free stater named Charles Dow outside of Lawrence.
Perhaps the abolitionists should have stayed up north where they belong instead of flooding into Kansas to alter the political landscape. The very town of Lawrence, Kansas, was named for Lawrence, Massachusetts. Jesse and Frank James...the Younger Brothers...Bill Anderson...Archie Clements...all great Americans.

What the hell difference does it make now? If it wouldn’t have been that guy getting shot over slavery debate, it would have been some other reason to shoot at each other.
As far as altering the political landscape, take a look at what northerners are doing to other towns they relocate to. And they aren’t even having to use violence to change things. I’m not for it but perhaps redlining from the southern states should make a reappearance if you want to keep the southern culture. But nobody’s going to turn down a Yankees’ money because it’ll only ever be about the money.

It seems like 90+% on both sides are just ridiculous radicals. I just don’t even watch the news if I can help it because it’s spun too far one way or the other. All I know is that nobody with the power to do anything is doing a good enough job but it’s complicated and it isn’t just based on what political ideology people have. Dems are off the deep end fighting for their 1% of people who “need trans rights” while we can’t even keep a secure border or feed our own and extreme “conservatives” are trying to go to war with the UK and frickin Scandinavia. None of it makes sense. Let’s just admit that we need to take down Iran and get this show going.

Jesse James was murdered. Cole and Jim Younger were not shot dead.

Most of the time I feel like Missouri is a terrible fit for the SEC. But every now and then some random Missouri dudes get exercised about some Civil War bullshite and I'm kinda reluctantly impressed by the similarity with some other random Southerners

Even though it is right in the very middle of the country, MO is in practice on a border - and the people are definitely influenced by the neighbors. The states all around are quite a bit different culturally from each other (Illinois to the East and KS/NE to the West are very different), same with Iowa to the North and Ark/OK/MS/TN in the south. So Missouri seems to be a mash-up of all of that. St. Louis seems to be more like an Eastern or upper Midwestern city - yet it had a large slave trade. KC feels much more Western. Rural areas and smaller cities in MO seem to be more similar to states they are closer to (I was raised on a farm in NE MO, and it is way more like Iowa and Illinois than Arkansas up there). Columbia and central MO is a jumble of all of it. During the civil war most of MO acted more like a confederate state but did not succeed. Today even the accent and language used by Missourians is blend of all those around us, and it changes regionally within the state.

The great Lewis Grizzard once said that KS/MO was as exciting as two mules fighting over a stump. Seems accurate.
