Talk:Wakarusa War

Underrated importance of this topic
It is reasonable to interpret the Bleeding Kansas events as the actual beginning of the Civil war and hence the Wakarusa War as the first organized engagement of the Civil War. Under that interpretation, Thomas Barber's death would be the first fatality in an organized engagement of the Civil War. His death was so understood at the time, which helped inspire Whittier's once popular poem, and the naming of Barber County Kansas. That poem is engraved on a footstone at Barber's tomb at Pioneer Cemetery on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence.
