Kansas did not become a state until 1858 primarily due to the contentious issue of slavery. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed settlers to determine the legality of slavery through popular sovereignty, leading to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas."

It wasn't until the tensions eased and a pro-slavery constitution was rejected that Kansas was finally admitted to the Union as a free state in 1861.
