has gloss | eng: The Battle of Osawatomie happened in August 30, 1856 when 250-300 Border Ruffians led by John W. Reid and Rev. Marvin White attacked the city of Osawatomie. John W. Reid was intent on destroying free state settlements and then moving on to Topeka and Lawrence to do more of the same. John Brown first got word that the group was coming when they shot his son Frederick. Brown with forty or so men tried to defend the town against the pro-slavery partisans, causing heavy casualties before being forced to withdraw; town of Osawatomie was then looted and burned. This is one event in series of skirmishes between abolitionists and pro-slavery Missourians in what has been known as Bleeding Kansas. |

has gloss | lat: Proelium Osawatomiae accidit die 30 Augusti 1856, cum fere 275 Nefarii Finium Homines, Ioanne W. Reid et Reverendo Marvin White ducibus, Osawatomiam vicum Kansiae oppugnaverunt. Reid colonias a civitatum liberarum fautoribus deductas perdere in animo habuit, et tunc ad Topekam et Laurentium vadere ut idem iterum facere. Ioannes Brown, ardens abolitionista, primum comprehendit hos latrones advenire cum ipsi Fridericum filium glandibus petiverint. Brown cum fere quadraginta hominibus conati sunt coloniam defendere contra turbatores plebis servitutem fulcientis, sed defecerunt, et despoliata colonia incensa est. Hoc proelium leve est unus in serie concursuum acrium inter abolitionistas et Missurianos servitutem fulcientis in re Kansia Cruda eo tempore appellata. |
