Osceola was a big, growing town before the raid. It never recovered from the attack (in which all but 8 of the several hundred buildings in town were burned down) and then the depopulation of Missouri counties a few years later.

They have had 150 years to get over it, though. That's kind of lame.
Still, it's a good enough reason to sack Lawrence again.
