Kansas
The Territory of Kansas existed during the years leading up to the U.S. Civil War. The territory of Kansas existed from May 30, 1854 until January 29, 1861 when the eastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the state of Kansas.
Kansas was not a border state during the American Civil War. The border states were Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, which were states that allowed slavery but did not secede from the Union. Kansas, on the other hand, was a free state and did not have the same debates over secession and slavery.
Kansas
Fighting broke out in Kansas after the government sided with the pro-slavery South during the mid-19th century. This conflict, known as "Bleeding Kansas," was marked by violent confrontations between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. Tensions escalated as both sides sought to influence whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. The turmoil was a precursor to the larger Civil War.
