23 magg 1856 anni - Massacre at Pottawatomie Creek

Descrizione:

The Massacre at Pottawatomie Creek occurred on the night of May 24, 1856, when abolitionist John Brown and his followers killed five pro-slavery settlers in Franklin County, Kansas, in response to attacks by pro-slavery forces, notably the sacking of Lawrence. This violent act escalated the conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the territory, contributing to the period of violence known as "Bleeding Kansas," which symbolized the deep national divisions over slavery.
