As very much an outsider (s desert dweller as my friends like to say) I have read just about every article suggested/presented in ALL of the Missouri threads. I want to share some observations, and folks can feel free to pick apart.
- The catalyst events were apart and unrelated in the begining, but like a hurricane, they gathered energy, and sucked in the surrounding communities.
- Rather than being able to speak of Missouri as a "state" as in general opinion, it must be viewed by area, as positions varied wildly from one area to the next
- Guerillas appear to be more tribal, than cause loyal, ie, they seem to represent a family/geographic loyalty rather than a "Confederate" cause.
- Even tribes have strict hierarchy/oversight, so when too much autonomy existed, a Lord of the Flies syndrome developed amongst some of the leaders, and barbarianism set in.
- Since these groups were comprised of family, revenge seemed to be the main focus, rather than mission orientation
