Nicodemus, Kansas was one of the first towns founded by African-Americans during the Reconstruction period. To many freed blacks who had already suffered the backlash of white southerners, Nicodemus seemed like an oasis. Kansas was considered a very liberal state with a large amount of abolitionists, such as John Brown, hailing from the state.
