Have they decided which of Arkansas and Kansas is pronounced correctly? I assume that's what their civil war was about.

Arkansas is the one which was originally named, it comes from the french name of one of the tribes that lived in the region. Kansas just thought it sounded cool.

Then can you explain where, exactly, they're carrying those wayward sons?

I dunno, but there'll be peace when they are done.

It's easy when they're just dust in the wind

There is a Kansa tribe. No need to erase natives over interstate bullshit.

Didnt know, just kinda assumed due to how often states either split or names get recycled.

While in Kansas the Arkansas River is pronounced arr-kansas. Otherwise it's Arkansaw.
