"They had scarcely established themselves, however, before another company of Jackson county citizens, chiefly from around Independence, organized to drive them off"

- Cole Younger

About this Quote

This quote is referring to a group of inhabitants who had recently developed themselves in Jackson County, Missouri. The settlers were mainly from the location around Independence, and they had only just begun to settle in the location when another group of Jackson County people arranged to drive them away. This group was most likely comprised of individuals who had actually already been residing in the area and were not delighted with the beginners. They wanted to secure their land and their way of living, and they saw the settlers as a hazard. The quote suggests that the inhabitants were not invited by the locals, which they were quickly repelled. This might have been because of a range of reasons, such as fear of the unidentified, competition for resources, or just a desire to keep the status quo. Whatever the reason, it is clear that the inhabitants were not welcomed in Jackson County and were rapidly repelled.
