Could Kansas be considered part of the confederate states?

Not by any stretch of the imagination I can conjure. As one of the pre-war compromises Kansas was left to decide whether it would be slave or free by a vote of those who settled there. This stimulated a migration to Kansas of anti-slavery abolitionists, which eventually assured that Kansas entered the Union as a free state. The abolitionists founded the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which was a hateful place to pro-slavery groups, and this was why the town was attacked and burned in a raid by Quantrill's raider's in 1863, with many townsmen slaughtered. Before the actual Civil War began there was a mini civil war between abolitionists who had moved to Kansas, known as "Jayhawkers", and pro-slavery Missouri "Red Legs". John Brown, later hung for his raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859, first was among the abolitionists who moved to Kansas, where, with his sons, he murdered several slave owners. All this violence gave Kansas the eventual nickname "Bleeding Kansas". These events are so important in the state's heritage that the University of Kansas athletic teams are today the "Jayhawks".


How accurate would it be to say that the US Civil War began in Kansas?

Not very accurate. I assume you are referring to "Bleeding Kansas", which were a series of skirmishes between pro-slave and anti-slave Americans from all over the country, trying to sway to vote to legalize slavery in Kansas. This is not considered the start of the civil war, as the US Government and military had no participation in the skirmishes. The official start of the Civil War would be The Battle for Fort Sumter, which took place in South Carolina (the first state to secede from the union)
