some people just used the war to act out violent fantasies

based, violent fantasies against slavers are cool and good

[–] Quimps@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It kinda wasn't based because as far as I'm aware the only ones doing that were slavers coming into Kansas from Missouri to do a bit of murder. Border Ruffians et al.

Nah Jayhawkers and Brown reciprocated

Oh but if you mean acting out violent fantasies yeah that was the pro-slavers

As someone who grew up there people quite like John Brown (which they should)

Yep and we still hate Missouri for trying to force their disgusting beliefs upon us

i mean its the one state at the moment that have legalized weed states to its two sides and has cops actively trying to bust said people.

I was talking about slavery my guy. Pro-slavery Missourians murdered and intimidated anti-slavery Kansans, and voted illegally en masse in Kansas to try and force it to be a slave state.

Yes, in 2024 I have to drive to Missouri for my weed…what a hardship I face 🙄

The people of Kansas are historically based as fuck. Can't forget Eugene Debs running for president from jail. Missouri on the other hand has literally legalized murder of religious groups in its history

[–] Test_Tickles@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there a connection between Debs and Kansas?

A speech he gave in Girard, KS

He was in Georgia when running from behind bars.

Slave owners taunting John Brown: "Put your money where your mouth is."

John Brown: puts a broadsword where their slaver mouth is
