Prior to Kansas joining the Union, the Kansas Territory was a hotbed of violence and chaos between abolitionists and pro-slavery settlers. Kansas was known as Bleeding Kansas as these forces collided.

Did the temperance movement led to the violence in bleeding Kansas?

Temperance was not an issue in bleeding Kansas. At the time, the temperance movement was still mostly concentrated in urban areas. Kansas during the period of "Bleeding Kansas" most certainly was NOT urban. "Bleeding Kansas", as it was called by Horace Greeley of the NY Tribune, was a proxy war between Northern and Southern states focused almost entirely over the question of whether Kansas would be a "free" or "slave" state.


When did Kansas get the name bleeding Kansas?

In the period of time after the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by Congress, there was armed conflict between pro and anti slavery factions in the Kansas territory. Bleeding Kansas was the result of popular sovereignty. At the time the idea birthed by Senator Stephen Douglas seemed the American way to settle disputes. Few expected the violence that erupted in Kansas soon after the Act was passed.


Did kids die in Bleeding Kansas?

No, or at least any such action is highly unlikely. Deaths during Bleeding Kansas are believed by modern historians to have been limited to 56 persons including a singke woman (Sarah Carver, age 17).

How did the quilt block Kansas Troubles get its name?

The original Kansas Troubles quilt was created in 1850 during the period when Kansas was petitioning to become the 34th state in the union. The "troubles" related to whether Kansas would choose to be a slave-holding state or a "free" state. Northern and southern politicians engaged in terrorist activities in their efforts to swing the vote; for a time, the territory was called "Bleeding Kansas." (Kansas ultimately chose to enter as a free state.) Although the quilt style we call Kansas Troubles arose during this period, the name was not applied to it until well afterwards. The first printed mention was in 1890. The defining pattern of the style is a series of triangles that "rotate" from block to block.
