Historical errors

Latest comment: 7 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

There are some errors of fact in this page.

"But he went from despised to hated after he ordered the imprisonment of women and children in a Missouri jail, tragically the jail's roof collapsed, and killed everyone inside."

1) James H. Lane did not order the imprisonments, General Thomas Ewing, Jr. did. 2) The makeshift jail was in Kansas City. 3) Only a few people were killed when the building collapsed, not everyone inside.

For reference, I'll cite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lawrence -—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.106.48.118 (talk • contribs)

I agree with you (whoever you are, since the message is unsigned). I did some further reading and made the necessary changes. -Michael David 17:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

You're right about points one and three, but last time I checked Kansas City was in Missouri....

Check out the link: Kansas City.

There are others as well. The regiment of blacks he raised were not the first blacks to fight in the war. Both navies had blacks from the beginning, and Confederates had them in large numbers well before this regiment was raised ^[1] CsikosLo (talk) 15:31, 10 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

I altered the reference to the Clint Eastwood film to indicate that the film was based on the Forrest Carter novel Gone To Texas, which book was inspired by the events in Osceola, Senator Lane, and the guerrilla warfare in Missouri and Kansas during and after the Civil War. ---Charles 18:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
