Trail of tears.
It was called Bloody Kansas.
Pro-slavery gun-toting Missourians who rushed to Kansas to vote were called "Border Ruffians." They crossed the state line into Kansas during the period of "Bleeding Kansas" in the 1850s to influence the outcome of elections in favor of slavery. Their actions contributed to violent conflicts between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in the territory.
Depends on which period of time. Under Cornodo, it was called "Quivera." The French called it the Great Plains. Lewis and Clark called it Buffalow because of the "shaggy cows." It was called "The Great North American Desert" and uninhabitable by Stephen Long after Zebulon Pike first referred it "like the sandy deserts of Africa." After the the Louisiana Purchase, it was broken into the Kansas Territory and the Indian Territory (current day Oklahoma). Today, Kansas and Oklahoma prevents Texas from falling into the Gulf of Mexico because they suck...LOL
