Lawrence City Massacre | Letters from Lawrence

Подробнее о видео

The Lawrence City Massacre, also known as Quantrill's Raid, occurred on August 21, 1863, when Confederate guerrilla leader William Quantrill led around 400 raiders into Lawrence, Kansas. The attack was a brutal retaliation against the town for its Unionist stance and abolitionist support during the Civil War. The raiders targeted men and boys, killing over 180 residents, while burning down homes and businesses. The massacre left Lawrence in ruins and was one of the bloodiest attacks on civilians during the Civil War. Quantrill’s Raid remains a stark reminder of the violence and bitterness that defined the era.
