History State of Kansas
The state was first settled by Americans in the 1850s by abolitionists from Massachusetts, who attempted to
stop the spread of slavery from neighboring Missouri. Kansas, which became a free state, was a hotbed of
violence and chaos in its early days as pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces collided. After the Civil War, the
population of Kansas exploded as wave after wave of immigrants turned the desolate prairie into productive farmland.
