Bloody Kansas
Bloody Kansas, or the Border War, was a series of violent civil confrontations in the Kansas Territory, and to a lesser extent in western Missouri, between 1854 and 1859. It emerged from a political and ideological debate over whether slavery should be permitted in the proposed state of Kansas.The conflict was characterized by years of electoral fraud, raids, assaults, and murders carried out in the Kansas Territory and neighboring Missouri by proslavery border ruffians and retaliatory raids carried out by antislavery free-staters. 56 political killings were documented during the period, and the total may be as high as 200. It has been called a "tragic prelude" or overture to the American Civil War, which immediately followed it.The conflict centered on the question of whether Kansas, upon gaining statehood, would join the Union as a slave state or a free state. The question was of national importance because Kansas's two new senators would affect the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, which was bitterly divided over the issue of slavery. The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 called for popular sovereignty: the decision about slavery would be made by popular vote of the territory's settlers rather than by legislators in Washington, D.C. Existing sectional tensions surrounding slavery quickly found focus in Kansas.Missouri, a slave state since 1821, was populated by many settlers with Southern sympathies and pro-slavery views, some of whom tried to influence the Kansas decision by entering Kansas and claiming to be residents. The conflict was fought both politically and between civilians, where it eventually degenerated into brutal gang violence and paramilitary guerrilla warfare.Kansas's state-level civil war would soon be replicated on a national basis. It had two capitals (proslavery Lecompton and antislavery Lawrence, then Topeka), two constitutions (the proslavery Lecompton Constitution and the antislavery Topeka Constitution), and two legislatures (the so-called "bogus legislature" in Lecompton and the antislavery body in Lawrence). Both sides sought and received help from outside, with the proslavery side receiving aid from the federal government, as Presidents Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan openly supported the proslavery partisans. Both claimed to reflect the will of the people of Kansas. The proslavers used violence and threats of violence, and the free-staters responded in kind. After much commotion, including a congressional investigation, it became clear that a majority of Kansans wanted Kansas to be a free state, but this required congressional approval, which Southerners in Congress blocked.Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state during the secession crisis that led to the Civil War. The admission came the same day that enough Southern slave state Senators had left Congress to join the Confederacy to allow it to pass (effective January 29, 1861).Partisan violence continued along the Kansas–Missouri border for most of the war, although Union control of Kansas was never seriously threatened. Bleeding Kansas demonstrated that armed conflict over slavery was unavoidable. Its severity made national headlines, which suggested to the American people that the sectional disputes were unlikely to be resolved without bloodshed and it acted as a preface to the American Civil War. The episode is commemorated with numerous memorials and historic sites.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_KansasBe Sure to visit WWW.CWTSPODCAST.COM to learn more about Chumming With The Spirits Podcast, grab your own podcast merchandise and listen/watch archived episodes and additional content.If you haven't also delved into these other fine podcast what are you waiting for?@discordnevermore @DrunkenCryptids @MythsMonstersandMullets @GhostGossip247 @TheCryptidPodcast-h6y @spector-beast-AI @cryptidsofthecorn4749 @krakencanscast @SplinteredSpirits

H. H. Holmes
What is Evil? This question has plagued mankind for millennia, yet there is not one true set in stone definition for what constitutes its meaning. Is it something that causes fear and dread in someone? Is it something or someone who does unspeakable acts, and are these acts of a religious or social influence? Or is it simply something that we can’t explain that is so far beyond what we recognize or categorize as normal behavior or influence that the only way we can define it is as of an “Evil” origin? These questions may never be answered but it is evident that all are correct in some sort of way when trying to ultimately define this term. It’s not often that we stumble across this phrase when dealing with human nature and the actions that certain people enact upon society, but there are those certain circumstances where the term “Evil” is the only term that can be used to describe what happened. Between the years of 1891 to 1894 Evil took hold in Chicago, and his name was Herman Webster Mudgett (AKA "H. H. Holmes"). Join us as we explore the major talking points of the Devil in the White City and his infamous Murder Castle.Be Sure to visit WWW.CWTSPODCAST.COM to learn more about Chumming With The Spirits Podcast, grab your own podcast merchandise and listen/watch archived episodes and additional content.If you haven't also delved into these other fine podcast what are you waiting for?@discordnevermore @DrunkenCryptids @MythsMonstersandMullets @GhostGossip247 @TheCryptidPodcast-h6y @spector-beast-AI @cryptidsofthecorn4749 @krakencanscast @SplinteredSpirits
