-
That what we call bleeding kansas,
-
this border frontier, civil war, this village against village,
-
river ravine against river ravine, broke out.
-
Before it played out over about a year and a half
-
about 250 people would be killed
-
many of them in nighttime raids and Vigilante violence
-
and millions in treasure.
-
I will come back to John Brown later, next week in fact.
-
Our friend John Brown from upstate new york--
-
or somebody's friend,
-
He wasn't easy to be friends with--
-
had already sent out some of his sons--more on that later
