Round 8: 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’ (10[1])towns of Osceola, raids in the other of these states were carried out by William Quantrill. Lawrence (10[1])was a center of Jayhawker activity in one of these states 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 fought during its western neighbor’s “Bleeding” period. ■END■
