Marrais Des Cygnes Massacre Sate Historic
On May 19, 1858, proslavery men killed five free state men and wounded five others in a ravine that is now listed as a National Historic Landmark. The shootings shocked the nation and became a pivotal event in the “Bleeding Kansas” era. A few months later, Abolitionist John Brown came to the site and constructed a fortified cabin.

Freedom is what we take for granted now. Back in those days, freedom was something to fight for. I hope it doesn't have to get back to that again, but we should appreciate what we have now.
