NEW YORK TRIBUNE, May 15, 1856  

* Bleeding Kansas
* Missouri border invasion
* War on slavery

Nearly half of page 5 is taken up with reports concerning the slavery vs. anti-slavery factions as Kansas worked toward achieving statehood.
The lengthiest report is headed: "From Kansas" with a Lawrence dateline. It takes over a full column. Following this is a letter also datelined from Lawrence with more related content. Then a letter headed: "A Georgian's Experience In Kansas" provides a different perspective.
Bleeding Kansas describes the period of repeated outbreaks of violent guerrilla warfare between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces following the creation of the new territory of Kansas in 1854. In all, some 56 people were killed between 1855 and 1859.
