Jayhawkers and red legs are terms that came to prominence in Kansas Territory during the Bleeding Kansas period of the 1850s; they were adopted by militant bands affiliated with the free-state cause during the American Civil War. These gangs were guerrillas who often clashed with pro-slavery groups from Missouri, known at the time in Kansas Territory as "Border Ruffians" or "Bushwhackers". After the Civil War, the word "Jayhawker" became synonymous with the people of Kansas, or anybody born in Kansas. Today a modified version of the term, Jayhawk, is used as a nickname for a native-born Kansan, but more typically for a student, fan, or alumnus of the University of Kansas.

  • Jayhawkers (plus rarement Red legs) est un surnom donné aux membres de bandes de brigands qui ont commis leurs méfaits dans le Kansas et le Missouri de la seconde partie du XIXe siècle, avant et pendant la Guerre de Sécession. Bushwhacker est un surnom équivalent, mais attribué à d'autres malfaiteurs, se réclamant plutôt des thèses sudistes, pro-esclavagistes, tandis que les premiers se réclamaient plutôt des thèses nordistes, anti-esclavagistes. Le terme jayhawker a survécu jusqu'au XXIe siècle. Mais avec une connotation plus positive, désignant un bien ou une personne originaire du Kansas. (fr)
  • Jayhawkers è un termine coniato durante la guerra di secessione americana nel cosiddetto Bleeding Kansas per definire le bande di miliziani affiliati con i nordisti. Al contrario i guerriglieri schierati con la Confederazione erano definiti Bushwhackers. Attualmente vengono definiti Jayhawker gli abitanti del Kansas. (it)
  • Jayhawkers waren während des Sezessionskrieges Guerillaeinheiten der Union. Sie kämpften vorwiegend in Kansas gegen Sympathisanten der Konföderation sowie gegen die Guerillas der konföderierten Armee aus Missouri, die sogenannten Bushwhackers. (de)
  • Jayhawkers es el término aplicado a los guerrilleros del Estado libre de Kansas que se oponían a los forajidos proesclavistas de la frontera en los años anteriores a la Guerra de Secesión de los Estados Unidos. Se enfrentaron a ellos en un conflicto conocido como Bleeding Kansas, que fue un preludio de la guerra civil iniciada el 12 de abril de 1861 y que luego continuó durante esa contienda. Se sumaron durante la guerra a las tropas de la Unión y fueron muy activos en Misuri, que era un estado esclavista. También se les conoce como Botas Rojas. (es)
  • Jayhawkers is een term die bekend werd toen militante groepen de naam adopteerden tijdens de gewelddadige gebeurtenissen in Kansas en Missouri (Bleeding Kansas), kort voor de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. De naam Jayhawkers is gedurende de burgeroorlog en daarna synoniem geworden voor inwoners van Kansas, en tegenwoordig verwijst het afgeleide "Jayhawk" nog steeds naar iemand die is geboren in Kansas, maar vaker naar een student, fan of ex-student van de universiteit van Kansas.
