The sacking of Lawrence, carried out by William Quantrill and his Confederate guerrillas, General Order No. 11, facilitated by the U.S. government, and those who have become legends posthumously, such as Jesse James or 'Bloody' Bill Anderson, are among its most iconic moments and individuals. However, many major players have been lost to the pages of history. Benjamin Franklin Stringfellow is one of them—and one of the greatest losers of the war. Stringfellow's story is crucial to demonstrating not only the push that pro-slavery advocates made into Kansas, but also the effort it took for those in Kansas to reject the institution of slavery. Written and narrated by Colin KavanaughRecording Engineer: Liam ArnzenPostproduction: Kyle JacksonTheme song and music: Derrick DotyAdditional music: Kaitlin, Casey, Kyle","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dQHE7hdFHxy8FBwTSvKZ-EWYL7gIO1YEZOQx6MAP6uA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hNzZm/Mjk3ZTczZWQxZjJh/YTZkNGE5OTZmYTNh/NTk5OC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
