- This video tells the story of the 1863 raid by William Quantrill and his Confederate Bushwhackers raid on Lawrence, KS.
As shocking as the massacre was the Union response, the infamous General Order #11.

My grandmother was born in Lawrence and both my grandparents went to KU. This was a fascinating documentary. Thank you for taking me on this journey. Can't wait to go back to Lawrence and visit these places.
Thank You!
Our shared American history has been OBLITERATED by the Marxist in Washington DC.
Go rewatch the Charlottesville riot Psyop. They used 2 different Dodge Challengers in that crisis actor sideshow to tear down Confederate Landmarks.
Thanks for keeping the history intact!
Absolutely amazing work!! Thank you!🤩 I've been tracking with you for a year or so, beginning with your episodes on Custer and the Little Big Horn. Your knowledge of these subjects is excellent, and your work is appreciated.✌️🇺🇲
Thank you for posting and telling this story of our history. It gets so little coverage in American history classes. Your episode shows the horror these people faced during the civil war. It was truly educational.
Awesome documentary! I had no idea about the Martha Young Truman connection to the Border War. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Wow! Fantasitic quality. I appreciate your hard work! The best docs on Quantrill...and your best doc to date. No joke.
Outstanding content on this subject. Throughly enjoyed the presentation. I can’t help to think about the movie Josey Wales while listening to this upload.
Thanks again for the content
Excellent! Quantrill was buried in St. Mary's cemetery (now St John's) in Louisville, Ky. Q's childhood friend William Scott made a few trips to have Q exhumed in 1887 and made off with Q's bones, with most ending up with the Kansas Historical Society til 1992 when released for burial in the Higginton,MO Confederate cemetery. The Border War has been a hot topic with me since high school. Love your work.
Q',Anderson,Todd,Frank,Jesse,the Youngers,Little Archie,John Lobb,Henry Wilson are all scary and interesting.

..Fascinating..! Well done sir..
Once again knocked it out of the park. This is quality history and deserves much more credit. Are you on Patreon? I would be willing to support your work.
Excellent. Good history lesson, thank you.
Found the story about Trumans mother very revealing
Cool video! Thanks!
Excellent!!
Thanks for introducing me to this side of America...
Man you told a good story I never knewsome of this thanks for the info.dangerous men doing terrible things to unarmed men .
More please!
Thanks. Nice work I like that, at the end, you recignize that Quantrill and his gang are villians rather than heroes.
Loved your Sioux War series.
He was a defender against Jayhawking, yankee devil trash…
you must be a Jayhawker....why no one is doing a video on how Jennison and his men shot and murdered innocent civilians, r*ped women, or wantonly robbed and torched homes? Lawrence didn't happen because the Union guys were paragons of moral civility or the Bushwhackers were just bored.
For me, the quantity was unreal
Quantrill was a rank opportunist, he was in Missouri at the beginning of the war because he gave up a Free Stater Slave Stealing Raid.
At 12:56, it's of interest that the plaque honorifically identifies Quantrill as 'Lt. Col.'.
Excellent production, but, to my aging ears, the background music was a bit too loud.
Taking away so many lives unnecessarily...
The psychopathic killer was John Brown.
That's undisputed
I didn't even know about it
Still, many people don't know about it
How can someone be this brutal!!!!
he was a murderous terrorist, his whole gang was. a csa officer that never wore a uniform, mainly fighting civilians. The list of war crimes these people did were endless. Somehow people have tried to make freedom fighters out of these people.
Fuckin A
Rock Chalk.
I have so much hate for that William
Violence was the only this they knew
For looting and whatso every purpose, this was so wrong
Somewhat biased although not terribly so. My opinion to your story became critical when Benjamin Potter was only briefly mentioned. see "six man cemetery" in Lone Jack.
yeah let's feel sorry for the Burnt District, the Union Army hit the terrorists where they lived. Truman's mama has the same mindset as a hamas supporting arab in Israel. THe Union were the heroes you were looking for, but you refuse to allow them the same level of harshness as the terrorists.
He is a nationalist villain as per me
Quantrill was what is commonly known as a terrorist. He used terror to achieve his ends. He fought civilians. These ''raiders'' were no soldiers, they were much much less.
Thanks for keeping the history intact!
