The Past in Pieces: Tales from the Missouri-Kansas Border War is a new narrative history podcast series created by students at the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy at the University of Missouri. Each fifteen-minute episode explores an aspect of the nineteenth-century struggle over slavery in the Kansas-Missouri borderlands, where the Civil War began. Listeners encounter Jayhawkers, Bushwhackers, and ordinary families; moments of political crisis and personal tragedy; and stories of the harrowing violence that fell most heavily on civilians. The series also traces the first African American troops in combat and how their experiences reshaped the meaning of freedom. The pieces of each episode form a larger picture, like a puzzle coming together to reveal the full story of an era of American history that is more relevant than ever as we drift toward political violence in our own era today.© 2026 The Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy 世界

    Bridges have long represented connection, expansion, and progress, but they also reveal division, conflict, and collapse. This podcast episode examines two Missouri bridges, the Gasconade Bridge and the Hannibal Bridge, and the very different stories they tell about the Civil War era and westward expansion. Through disaster, political violence, competition, and reconstruction, this episode explores how two seemingly banal pieces of infrastructure become microcosms of Missouri’s identity and the fractured history of the United States.

    The first casualty of the Border War was killed because of a dispute regarding a tract of timber. Yet if the first death was as unremarkable as the land survey detailing his land, history would not remember him. Charles Dow's death, although unremarkable at the time, would cause for a spiraling ruthless guerilla conflict to take place. But what were the natural causes for this death? And why was that tract of land so important? This episode of the Past in Pieces answers those questions and chronicles the beginnings of the Border War, and the organic, natural reasons for the conflict’s inception.

    During the Missouri Kansas Border War, the University of Missouri was transformed into a union camp, even housing Confederate soldiers. This episode explores the lesser-known history of the University of Missouri and its war-stricken past. We start at the beginning and learn the hardships and how close the university came to closing. Then we see who and what saved the university and how the town of Columbia came together to protect their own. Join me in exploring the past behind the columns.
