When the Civil War broke out in April 1861, Kansas was in a unique
position. Although it had been a state for mere weeks, its
residents were already intimately acquainted with civil strife.
Since its organization as a territory in 1854, Kansas had been the
focus of a national debate over the place of slavery in the
Republic. By 1856, the ideological conflict developed into actual
violence, earning the territory the sobriquet "Bleeding Kansas."
Because of this recent territorial strife, the state's transition
from peace to war was not as abrupt as that of other states.
Kansas's War illuminates the new state's main preoccupations: the
internal struggle for control of policy and patronage; border
security; and issues of race-especially efforts to come to terms
with the burgeoning African American population and American
Indians' continuing claims to nearly one-fifth of the state's land.
These documents demonstrate how politicians, soldiers, and ordinary
Kansans understood the conflict and were transformed by the war.
