If by "slavery supporters" you mean Quantrill's Raiders and you're referring to Lawrence, KS, then the answer is yes.

The raid was at least partially in retaliation for the sacking of Osceola, MO by "Jayhawkers" (Kansans who were against slavery but not necessarily against a little robbery and assassination, as long as they were the ones doing it).
