Old John Brown
The abolitionist had his base here, in Quindaro, Kansas.
Kansas was a violent battleground for pro- and anti-slavery settlers. #BleedingKansas #JohnBrown
A #FugitiveSlaveAct passed Congress in 1850 on #ThisDayInHistory as part of the #CompromiseOf1850. It required officials and citizens of anti-slavery states return escapees, and was following by a new #liberal party (the #RepublicanParty) and to #BleedingKansas and the #CivilWar.
We just had a blocked FG return for a touchdown and then a ref cramped up. Liking this #BleedingKansas thing
#OTD 1856: Radical abolitionist #JohnBrown and his men kidnapped and killed 5 pro-#slavery settlers with broadswords at Pottawatomie Creek. The murders were in retaliation for the pro-slavery sacking of the anti-slavery town of Lawrence, Kansas. #BleedingKansas #USHistory
The caning of Charles Sumner, today in 1856. It happened in the Old Senate Chamber. #BleedingKansas #CivilWar
@GianmarcoSoresi Gianmarco you need to look into John Brown. great human being. KCMO might be cooler (and why Missouri is purple), but it was called #BleedingKansas for a reason.
This body legalized slavery, passed harsh laws against antislavery activities, and moved the capital from Pawnee to the Shawnee Mission, closer to the Missouri border, sparking intense violence in Kansas. #BleedingKansas
After Stephen Douglas made a miscalculation, Bleeding Kansas erupted as settlers fought over slavery, with fraud, armed raids, and John Brown’s Pottawatomie Massacre setting the stage for the coming Civil War. #BleedingKansas #JohnBrown #AmericanHistory

@modernwest @HISTORY @DorisKGoodwin Must of been painful for History Channel & Cuba's commie lover Kevin Costner to air & narrate a episode of the show The West where Republicans were against slavery & Democrats for it. Ending up in the Civil War. 🤔 S1 Ep6 #BleedingKansas look it up.
@DemocracyDocket Repeating history. #BleedingKansas pro-Slavery Aholes used to hang out at the polling places in the 1850s. John Brown took care of some of that.
