NEW YORK TRIBUNE, June 11, 1856 Pages within have much coverage on the "Bleeding Kansas" situation including much on the historic sacking of Lawrence, with: "From Kansas" "Burning Of A Town" "Reported Death of Marshal Donaldson & Four of His Men" "Gov. Shannon's Son Turned Border Ruffian" "Another Attack on Lawrence" "Kansas" "Warlike Spirt & Indications--Uncle Sam's Dragoons Suffer--More Guerrilla Work" "Appearance of the Sacked City" "Kansas" "Civil War In Kansas".
There is also content on the reaction to the beating of Charles Sumner in Congress by Paxton Brooks, as well as an article: "The New York Slave Trade - Capture of Brig Braman" which begins: "Owing to the great demand for Africans in Cuba and Brazil, and the high prices which they obtain, the slave trade of New York has lately received a great impetus...".
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.
