Round 10: Tossup 20

Two answers required. Neither are Florida, but a conflict between settlers from these two present-day states prompted George Henry Hoyt and James Montgomery to carry out retaliatory attacks in the other. Charles Jennison’s total war (10[1])tactics forced Frank James away from a river that forms a border between these two states. (-5[1])In retaliation for an earlier raid on the pro-Confederate settlement in one of these states’ towns of Osceola, raids in the other of these states were carried out by William Quantrill. (-5[1])Lawrence was a center (10[1])of Jayhawker (10[1])activity in one (10[1])of these states (10[1])under threat of attack from pro-slavery Border Ruffians from the other of these states. For 10 points, name these two states, settlers from one of which’s capital of Jefferson City (10[1])fought during its (10[1])western neighbor’s “Bleeding” (10[2])period. ■END■ (10[3]0[1])
