Kansas has a long history dating back to early Spanish exploration in the 16th century. It became a state on January 29, 1861 after a bloody territorial period where pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces battled for control. Kansas played an important role in the Civil War, supplying over 20,000 troops to the Union army. In the late 19th century, the cattle industry and wheat farming boomed as railroads expanded across the state. Kansas continues to be an important agricultural producer while also growing its industry and urban centers. The state capital has been located in Topeka since 1861.
History 101 The Emergence of Abraham Lincoln by Sheryll CastleberrySheryllCastleberry
Abraham Lincoln had a lifelong opposition to the institution of slavery and fought against its expansion throughout his political career. He opposed the Mexican-American War and slave power, fought to ban slavery in new territories, issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in Confederate states, and pressured border states to end slavery. Lincoln viewed the Confederacy as defending slavery while the Union fought to end it. His early life was one of poverty and self-education before he became a lawyer and politician in Illinois. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1846 and unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Senate in 1858 while gaining national attention for his debates with Stephen Douglas on the issue of slavery.

8. James Sevier Conway was born on December 4, 1796, in Greene County, Tennessee, the son of Thomas Conway and Anne Rector Conway. James Conway and his brothers and three sisters were raised on a prosperous frontier plantation and received their education from private tutors. In 1818 the family moved to St. Louis, probably to be near Anne Conway's uncle, the Surveyor General of the vast Missouri Territory. In the first two decades of the 19th century, the United States was rapidly settling east of the Mississippi River and fortunes were to be made speculating in frontier land. No one was better positioned to take advantage of this opportunity than the surveyors who first encountered these new territories and opened them up for settlement. In 1820 James Conway and his older brother Henry were appointed surveyors for the newly formed Arkansas Territory. Almost all of the early surveyors of Arkansas were, in fact, related in some fashion. Combined with their advance knowledge of the best lands, this gave them a tremendous advantage during the early settlement of Arkansas. As a result four interrelated families of former surveyors would dominate Arkansas politics for most of the antebellum period. The families were the Conways, the Rectors, the Seviers, and the Johnsons. Collectively they were referred to as the "Dynasty," or more often as "the Family."
