Or, more to the point, the men of Quantrill's Raiders dressing up in their
old uniforms to have a reunion on the date of their raid on Lawrence
Kansas.

During the American Civil War they were treated very like al Quaida men
are
being treated today.

When KU comes to play The University of Missouri in football, there
are signs in town that say 'Burn Lawrence'. Only recently were the
Confederate flags banished from the football sidelines.

The level of bitterness in that particular part of the American Civil War
was dreadful.

Interestingly very few of the people on either side were either
abolitionists or slave owners.

Of course some, *like 'Doc Jennison', *were just crooks out to line their
own nests, and some, *like Anderson and his ghastly associate Archie
Clement, *were probably psychopathic.

But the majority of the men involved on both side of that part of the
conflict seem to have settled down after the war, *with a few obvious
exceptions like the members of the James Gang and the Younger Brothers...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, *like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

If you can get a copy of Inside War: The Guerrilla Conflict in
Missouri During the American Civil War by Michael Fellman it
describes some of the things that passed for war then and there. There
is a rumor/belief that Missouri determined the South not to fight on
in guerilla after Appomattox.

the University of Richmond now plays in the Yankee Conference which is New
England based, many up here and down there are unsure about that
association.

That's because they are winning games, I was there when a 15-13 win
over KU was the equivalent of a Orange Bowl win.
