What many people don't understand is that once war becomes personal and a war of attrition ,everything changes.He did nothing different then what most would do if they had the moral courage. ,including myself.

[@wthjrtx1]

So glad to have found this. Much thought and careful consideration was well put into this. Deo Vindice.

[@Zampan0]

It isn't easy to make a judgement by what people say, so I look at his eyes and say that Quantrill was a just man in an unjust war.

Hello from Minnesota i love our history

[@admiralgree3873]

Good man. Biased Kansan newspapers of the time are what we base most of our common knowledge of him today off of, while we ignore the red legs.

[@bigfootaintreal5454]

Awesome presentation

[@billblueaec]

Everyone should watch the movie (RIDE WITH THE DEVIL) , GREAT MOVIE . Tobey Maquire stars in it.

[@Thomas-uv3tk]

Richard Ballinger Chiles was the real Jake Chiles. Editha Hatfield was the real Sue Lee Shelley. They were my 3rd great grandparents.

[@Jimbo_Bluff]

Any information on George Maddox, Quantrill's Chief Scout?

[@r669charger7]

Well done! Good neutral presentation.

My uncle Bill Bledsoe was with the raiders, If he was like any other Bledsoe, he was very adept at killing. He was no doubt confederate, So traitor to our country. His family fought indians for 200 years. 1640, jamestown colony. Anyway, Bill was killed attacking a group of defenseless Black Union musicians, practicing, Some general was coming to baxter springs, They killed 90 people or so that day, And Bill was killed along with another raider, They were two people buried In the brand new Baxter Springs cemetery that was created because of the massacre. Bill Bledsoe and the raider are in unmarked graves, forever next to the people they betrayed our country to posses.

Actually, his family was from Maryland and moved to Ohio. I like the Q&A style but still some issues...

[@jmass8895]

He told the other bushwackers he was from Maryland.

[@guzziman011]

Being that I'm from Quantrill's home town I found this very interesting.

[@XxpauldadudexX]

I wouldn't tell too many folks dude....next civil war they'll be gunning for Quantrill's folks and do a *LAWRENCE* on their town and asses, lol

[@guzziman011]

I believe the house Quantrill was born in is still standing.

[@TK-wk2dn]

Is anyone still researching William Quantrill to see who he really was?

[@joemueller4738]

He liked to torture and kill animals as a kid, that’s all I need to know,

[@MrWibeekeeper]

Very good video. Quantrill killed my wife grandmothers grandfather in Kansas.

[@charleyshack]

Bald faced lie, unlike the Federals. Quantrill, and his men never killed women or children.

[@trooper2534]

Well done

[@mcnasty1310]

fun fact he is my great great great uncle 😆

[@fightingdustmite1017]

In my tree direct line one side fought for the south the other the north in the ✡ regiment

[@donze52]

great video-- picked up some info I didn't know, as for few killed at said town, tens of thousands were killed in each battles in the east so even if Quantrill would have killed ten times that number it would not be near the deaths of major battles.but if Kansas rad legs can come and killed my people, rest assured I would have road with him.

[@daveybernard1056]

I guess you better ride with spellcheck

[@donze52]

sorry that is all you got from my comment, you have a good day-- donze52 channel with over 5 million views

[@XxpauldadudexX]

I agree with you but I woulda gone after the Kansas raiders, not kill the boys n unarmed, surrendered dudes and innocent civilians.

[@grifce]

Why hasn't anyone asked who is that face on the skull in the museum that claiming to be Quatrell. It absolute is not him. So who was riding William Quatrell Horse. Cause the man that was shot off it, isn't him. Was he id by photo or the papers in the saddle bags.

[@markjamison9677]

Quantrill was a great commander if the south followed his tactics they would of won the war .

[@BigJeep00]

This is a Horrible Demonstration about Quantrill. Infamous my Ass!!!
