Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bleeding Kansas period lasts from 1854 when Kansas was opened to white settlement until 1861, when it became a state. What were the people like? Why did thousands of people fight and die over the issue of slavery? Some claim it was only money, but this does not ring true, it had to be more than that for the fighting to be so fierce. During the 1850s, popular votes were used to determine which states were free and which were slave, why didn’t this work? Why was “popular sovereignty” a “living, creeping lie” according to the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln? And yet, popular sovereignty was the solution proposed by the anti-slavery Northern Democratic Presidential nominee, Stephen A. Douglas, why? For that matter, why did the Democratic Party split into two parties allowing Lincoln to slip in and win with 40% of the vote? Most importantly, why did so many pro-slavery Democrats come to Kansas and quickly become Republican and anti-slavery? This book examines the Kansas immigrants and their radical transformation. We use the immigrant’s first-hand accounts, from privately published autobiographies, published essays, letters, and standard histories to tell the story of the people of Kansas in this critical period in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to show that the events which were to make Kansas a free state or a slave state played a major part in bringing on the Civil War of 1861-1865. This thesis will demonstrate how the bitter border warfare and the political struggle in Kansas from 1864 to 1860 aroused the passions of the anti-slavery elements of the North and the pro-slavery supporters in the South until it resulted in the Civil War. Kansas was the preliminary battleground between the anti-slavery and the pro-slavery groups. It was during the struggle over Kansas that the stage was set for the opening of the Civil War on April 12, 1861, when the first shot of the Civil War was fired on Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. The real beginning of the Civil War lies in the history of Kansas as a territory from 1854 to 1860. It was in Kasnas that bands of border ruffians from Missouri crossed the border to vote in Kansas elections to make her a slave state. It was in Kansas that bands of free state men, led by Jim Lane, John Brown, and James Montgomery invaded Missouri farms and towns in retaliation for Missourian raids on Kansas Territory. It was in Kansas that Charles Robinson led the Free-State Party to make Kansas a free state. It was in Kansas that Sheriff Samuel Jones, Benjamin F. Stringfellow, and Jefferson Buford led the pro-slavery Party in an effort to win Kansas for the slave interests of the South. Kansas was the territory into which the anti-slavery groups of the North led by Eli Thayer, Amos A. Lawrence, Salmon F. Chase, and others poured settlers, arms, munitions, supplies, and money to make it a free state. At the same time, the pro-slavery groups of the South were sending settlers, arms, money and military expeditions to make certain that the territory would become a slave state. In other words, the purpose of this thesis is to show how "Bleeding Kansas" has a major part in precipitating the Civil War that was fought to preserve the Union.

Download or read book The Boy Settlers written by Noah Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loosely based upon Brooks's own experience of moving from Dixon, Illinois to the Kansas Territory in 1857, the book takes place just before the outset of the Civil War - during the period that was known as 'Bleeding Kansas' (a term that described a brief period of violence within the area over whether Kansas would enter statehood as a free or slave state). Settlers who were both for and against slavery flocked to the Territory in an effort to influence the decision to meet their own desired ends - at times using corrupt, coercive, or even violent means to make certain that the vote for or against slave-statehood leaned in their desired end's favor. To make things even more convoluted, two disparate governments - with separate constitutions - existed alongside one another as well. This often led to situations of one city or another being a bastion of one way of thought, while another - often nearby - was for the opposing viewpoint. The migrant Illinoisans at the center of the work (brothers-in-law, Mr. Howell & Mr. Bryant, and their sons Sandy & Charlie Howell and Oscar Bryant) understand full-well what they're getting themselves into. And - as vociferous anti-slavery advocates - they refuse to be cowed by pro-slavery ne'er-do-wells. They choose to stake out a homestead near Fort Riley, Kansas, and it is from here that the tales of their (and their neighbors) struggles, adventures, and triumphs begin to spool out in earnest. Native Americans, bison, political and social intrigue, and a great deal of historical insight are all present and accounted for in an intimate look at a slice of historic life during the protracted founding of what would ultimately become the United States of America.
