Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Kansas Territory was formed in 1854, and in 1855, the settlers there voted to allow slavery. This became known as Bleeding Kansas, as the territory was constantly being threatened by pro-slavery settlers from Missouri.
#2 The violence between the Jayhawkers and the Bushwhackers continued to escalate, and it was not uncommon for towns like Fort Scott to be raided and terrorized by either side.
#3 When Kansas declared itself a free state in 1861, the country descended into civil war. The experience left communities with a strong sense of localized justice and a tendency to take matters into their own hands.
#4 When white settlers arrived in Kansas from the East Coast and parts of Europe, they did so at a devastating cost to its Indigenous peoples. The tribes were forced to cede more and more land to white settlers, who used the land to hunt and farm.
