Jayhawkers is a term that came to prominence just before the American Civil War in Bleeding Kansas, where it was adopted by militant bands affiliated with the free-state cause. These bands, known as \"Jayhawkers\", were guerrilla fighters who often clashed with pro-slavery groups from Missouri known at the time as \"Border Ruffians\".
