Talk:Kansas and Missouri

2013
As a Kansan in 2013, I personally don't know of anyone that has bad feelings for Missouri or any of its citizens. Competitive rivals in sports and business doesn't have jack to do with "bitterness sown during Bleeding Kansas". Anytime two schools / cities / states anywhere in the world compete for something, then people get emotional and upset about stuff. The competitiveness is the cause, not the ancient Bleeding Kansas history! • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 14:16, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * That hasn't been my understanding from reading the sources I used to put the article together. Perhaps the article does go beyond where the sources would lead it; in such a case I would be grateful if you could help by editing the article! I know the historical enmity is worthy of an article and that there's SOME bitterness left (more than, say, between Kentucky and Tennessee, which are border states that to my knowledge have never fought a war), but I don't want to overstate what the sources are telling me. Can I ask whereabouts in Kansas you are? I think the tensions (naturally) are much higher in the rough vicinity of the KC metro area, plus around UM and KU. Red Slash 23:38, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Deletion discussion
The links now take me in a circle, back to the article and not to a discussion. While here, I updated sone references, added two, marked one as dead. I find this an interesting article that can be expanded using one source already in the article (Alexander 2023), and seeking more recent sources as well. I will keep trying for the discussion page. - - Prairieplant (talk) 03:36, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I figured out the trick to read the delete discussion, and add to it. Add your vote! - - Prairieplant (talk) 21:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
