On 12 August 1863 Confederate guerrilla William Quantrill's Raiders
attacked & sacked Lawrence, Kansas revenging hundreds of raids and
murders by unionist Redlegs into Southern sympathizing Missouri.
One of the best movies made about the War and certainly the fairest
about the war in Missouri is Ang Lee's movie Ride with the Devil. Six
counties in Missouri under the wartime unionist governor were subject
to the first ethnic cleansing in America (after the Indians).
Very good movie
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I read that the original cover had the black man on it, but I guess PC reared its ugly head and he was moved to the back. I found the shot I posted among a multitude of the PC ones.
