Speaking of violent abolitionists giving it back in kind to violent slave owners: A part of US history that many US folk don't know about, is the closest to a real life Robin hood / The Punisher. Kansas Jayhawks were gangs that robbed from the rich (slaveowners) and gave to the poor (themselves and freed Black slaves).

Before anyone asks, no I am not condoning violence. I'm just wondering why we don't "celebrate this history" like we do confederate generals.
