| Back during the civil war Jayhawkers from kansas burned the town of Oceola MO to the ground. A few years ago when all the tearing down of statues started someone from that town filed a lawsuit demanding that the University of Kansas change their mascot name because the Jayhawkers were a terrorist orginisation. Nothing came of it of coarse, but he made a point.
The Jayhawkers were pro Union sympathizers from Kansas, the Bushwhackers were pro southern sympathizers from the Missouri side. Both sides contributed with lots of atrocities during the boarder war including the murder of innocent civilians. But because the Jayhawers were pro union I guess its ok for them to keep it. If they were pro southern the left would be howling for the removal of it | |

What’s the general thought on confederate statues?
