Round 7: 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 (10[1])settlement in one of these states’ towns of Osceola, raids in the other of these states were carried out by William Quantrill. Lawrence was a (10[1])center of Jayhawker (10[1])activity in (10[1])one of these states under threat of attack (-5[1])from pro-slavery Border (-5[1])Ruffians from the other (10[1]-5[1])of these states. For 10 points, name these two states, settlers from one of which’s capital of Jefferson City fought during its western neighbor’s “Bleeding” period. ■END■ (10[3])
