Round 12: 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 tactics forced Frank James away from a river that forms a border between these two states. 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. (10[1]-5[1])Lawrence was a center of Jayhawker (-5[1])activity in one of these states under threat of attack from pro-slavery (-5[1])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 fought (10[1])during its western neighbor’s “Bleeding” period. ■END■ (10[2])
