This video includes a compilation of short lectures with historians who contributed to a new anthology on the Kansas-Missouri border wars, titled Bleeding Kansas, Bleeding Missouri: The Long Civil War on the Border (University Press of Kansas, 2013). Although I’m a bit biased (having contributed to the volume and knowing its editors quite well), this is an excellent resource and the following video gives you a sense of the issues it raises and its relevance to modern scholarship. Jonathan Earle, Diane Mutti Burke, Kristen Oertel, Jeremy Neely, and Jennifer Weber are the presenters. Although each is excellent, I particularly recommend Neely’s talk on the Quantrill’s men reunions (starting 40:25).
