Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Centennial History of the State of Kansas: Being a Full and Complete Civil, Political and Military History of the State, From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time The central state of the union must, in the progress of time, become of im mense importance in the economy of the nation, and may be the seat of empire; hence it is of some moment that every possible contribution toward its authentic history should be preserved in such form as will be best availa ble toward constructing the philosophy of its development, when Chronos shall have ripened his fruit; and for the same reason it is to be desired that the writer should throw no unjustifiable animus into his narration. History should be for society and man, what the earth's crust is for the mons of time that have elapsed since its primary rocks were first solidified; a faithful pre scutation of every fact and feature, whose imprint could be made before the fugitive and protean matter had put on another semblance. The chronicler whose capacity may enable him to achieve a result so glorious will make a name greater than Herodotus aimed at, or Thucydides imagined; and there are approaches toward that degree of excellence among the writers now liv ing, or just passing away. Such a design could not be fulfilled for Kansas, except in arudimentary and incomplete way at the present era; but it is something to have helped in preparing the material for a great edifice, and to that extent the writer hopes he has attained a measure of success.

Book excerpt: "My purpose in writing this book was twofold: first, to supply a long-standing deficiency in Kansas historical literature (which has concentrated almost exclusively on the pre-Civil War period) by describing the political, military, social and economic events and developments of the state's first four years -- an era even more dramatic, and hardly less significant, than the one which preceded it; and, secondly, to contribute to a better understanding of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi West through a realistic presentation and analysis of the Kansas-Missouri border conflict, the operations of the Missouri guerrillas under Quantrill, and the Union and Confederate military campaigns in Missouri, Arkansas, the Indian Territory, and Kansas itself. My primary focus throughout the book is on Kansas, and if I have emphasized political and military matters, it is only because this period of Kansas history was essentially political and military in character"--Preface.

Download or read book The Civil War in Kansas written by Debra Goodrich Bisel and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1850s, the eyes of the world were on Kansas. The Civil War in Kansas will be an overview of the years 1854-1865, since the war began in Kansas nearly seven years before it spread to the rest of the nation. From the repeal of the Missouri Compromise to its entry in the Union, Kansas played a small role in the war as a whole, but its effects on the state were nonetheless important. With regards to the Kansas citizens who played a part, it would be an understatement to call them "colorful." From John Brown to Jim Lane, Kansans made headlines throughout the nation and the world. Bisel presents the history of Kansas during the Civil War years in an accessible way that will satisfy history buffs as well as enlighten novices.
Download or read book Race and Politics written by James A. Rawley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1979-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race and Politics offers an analysis of the controversies that followed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. The question of whether the still unsettled Kansas Territory should be slave or free divided the nation into hostile and ultimately irreconcilable camps, creating conditions that only civil war could resolve. Theøauthor demonstrates, however, that the fundamental issue was not slavery as such but race: whether the country, its egalitarian slogans notwithstanding, could tolerate the expansion of African Americans, slave or free. "Rawley in his introduction, a semi-apologia, questions the need for another book on the Civil War. He answers his own question, giving two reasons: first, to reveal how the Kansas upheaval became a main political preoccupation of the country before the war; second, to emphasize how deeply prejudice pervaded the entire populace, both Northern and Southern. In filling in the structure of these two justifications, Rawley achieves his goal in an admirable way."?Gene M. Gressley, Library Journal. "Based to a considerable degree upon an examination of voluminous manuscript sources. New data relating to inner-political maneuvers, on the part of the Democrats, Whigs, and Republicans are brought forward."?Annals of the American Academy.
