My Visit to an Old Civil War Cemetery in Higginsville, Missouri - William Quantrill

- This civil war cemetery is in Higginsville, Missouri, about 5 miles north of Interstate 70. Both union and confederate soldiers rest here. I originally did not intend to stop here to film this, so the video quality is somewhat basic using only a phone camera. In the future, I will bring video equipment with me for better film footage.
There is also a train depot down the road from here that was built in the 1880s. I will have another video up about that soon.

My condolences to those who fought in the Civil War, both sides. And my respect for you were honorable men and women that defended your beliefs and may you be at peace. Thank you and God bless you. peace
South treated some people as slaves. Rape, mutilated, and killed them. Look up what evil his highlighted terrorist did. Not honorable at all.
One of the men who rode with Quantrill was a young Jesse James. James is also buried in Missouri, about an hour's drive northwest of Higginsville in Kearny, MO.
I thought Jesse James did do that.
Yes, Jesse James became part of the gang around 1864 I believe, some time after his brother Frank joined. I almost visited Kearny on this trip but didn't. Next time I will though!
They were evil people.
We can learn so much just by stopping and looking.
100% agree!
This is an amazing chance with history documented by the people that experienced it themselves
Outstanding content. Thanks for sharing with us
My pleasure and thank you!
Many thanks for sharing/posting.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Capt Quantrilwas captured in my hometown of Taylorsville KY before being sent to Louisville
Quantrill is also mentioned in True Grit.

@@aloysiusdevanderabercrombi470 People today just have no interest in utlilizing proper grammar or spelling. It could easily be summed up into 'lack of respect' :(
It is important to remember that many confederate soldiers were either drafted or fighting because they believed the Union would destroy their homes and livelihoods. Sure, the stay declarations of succession included slavery as a reason, but that was for rich folks and politicians. The common man is often caught up in these historical events just trying to protect his life and family. War is a tragedy even if the overall results were good.
Thank you for sharing.

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
I hope that this publicity does not lead to the desecration of that cemetery... The morals of today are not the morals of that day.😢
I agree with you. Fortunately, the cemetery was somewhat difficult to find, far back away from everything.
No morals today.
Yeah, it looks like the SPLC missed this one when they compiled the list. Let us hope that we are past the insanity of destruction that swept the Country.
Really interesting. Very well done. Thanks a lot for this! 👍👍👌
My great great grandpa fought in the 5th Mo infantry regiment (confederate) My grandma who passed away in 2019 at 93 had some great stories about him. She was born in 1926 and he passed away in 1935ish. Growing up they were just stories to me, but it’s crazy looking back thinking that a woman who helped raised me spent time with an actual civil war vet
Missouri represent. ✊🎉❤
So am I right about the graveyard was there well before the church and if so what's the story behind that if you know.
I enjoyed watching this video,I love civil war history especially the CSA. Thank you.
Salute to the Soldiers on this Veterans Day . 🙏
I believe the church was there first. The old vets home started there around 1891, and the chapel was built a year later. I am not sure if the cemetery wasn't there beforehand though.
Thank you for the info ✌️
I have a ggg grandfather buried there. Thanks for sharing!
thank you for doing video so i have something to watch thank you again
I'd love to visit someday
It's a great place to visit, I highly recommend!
We were married in community Bible Church in Huntington Beach in 1995. The people there said they were actually carried in as babies into that church as babies at that time. There is no graveyard around there, but the church looks very similar to the one that is in this video.
Upstate New York has quite its share of Victorian and 'stick style' houses.
Kudos to the coroner for being able to identy with name
My family is from rural S/E Kentucky, my Pa & Ma had kin that fought for both sides in that awful war( we have some photos of them in uniform). We also have a family cemetery there & my Pa's grandmother( his Ma's side of the family)was a Cherokee indian. An interesting fact that you may know , but being on the border of the Mason/Dixon line , Kentucky & Missouri are the only 2 states that were heavily involved in that awful civil war , kin fighting/killing kin, but neither state is represented by a star on the Confederate or Union flags because there were so many men in those 2 states that fought for both sides.
You should see the civil war cemetery in newtonia mo. It looks like something out of a horror movie!
You should research how Quantrill turned from the Union to the Confederacy. It is an interesting story. And about the Union Jail Collapse that killed his sister and led to the raid on Lawrence.
Quantrill was a horrible person. Understatement! I did not realize he was so young, and did not know he was buried there. May his victims rest in peace. Thanks for the informative video. Shaky or not, it was well done. Did they fly any flag there? That would be interesting.
$1200 in 1892 is equivalent to a little more than $40,500 today. If what I found on the internet is accurate
I bet if u take a metal detector there u could find so many cool Knick knacks that lovers families left there thru out the years
Now to the ones who’ve died in the war that lie in rest there in the fields. How do we know that they wanted to be buried next to each other?
Excellent. One comment. Slow down your panning.
He was basically a raider.
Hence the name of his group was called Quantrills Raiders.
Why didn’t Quantrill get a Confederate obelisk tombstone?

The "old buildings" that you see standing in 2023 are always going to be the ones that were well made. The junk fell down decades ago.
Selection bias. Only the well made lasted to today.
A lot of negativity about Quantrill and Quantrill‘s Raiders…
“Murders thieves “
What is the truth?
I wonder if their modern families think of them as traitors?
I would not think they either would or should. It was a time in history where each side thought the other was wrong. Slavery is wrong and always has been. Many of these slave owners actually thought that they were taking care of these people who they thought were incapable of living on their own, or make their own decisions, as the democrats like Clinton still do... the deplorables, the unwashed the uneducated among us..should have no rights to decide. and if you do not vote their way they will HURT you..And they will take out their political opponent any way they can do so.. regardless of law or due process.. Sound familiar? they murdered Lincoln.. to no avail. They have thrown open the borders seven MILLION strong.. for VOTES to ensure their political dominance in perpetuity that is the goal. Too bad they did not consider what that has done and will do to our national security.. dooming them for good when it does happen, and it will ..a terrorist attack on our own soil is imminent. And it will fall on these people in power today.
I doubt they do. Too many years gone by and I bet the current families have no real idea of their ancestors or who they really were.
@@TheopolisQSmith I get that, but of those that DO know, how do Confederate dependents view their ancestors I wonder?
My paternal great-grandfathers and great-granduncles fought for the Confederacy; I do not think them traitors, they were fighting for independence.
Assuming you can trace family back to the American Revolution, do you consider them traitors? I don't, neither do I consider my Texian ancestors who fought for independence from Mexico to be traitors.
Lest we forget
Unfortunately we have forgotten our the crap that's taking place today wouldn't be!!!
